Yeah i understand. He's just a cool guy, fun to watch and the type of player this team currently needs. Of course he's overpaid. I'd swap Palat for him or Henrique without hesitation. Ignore the hindsight
Kakko and Allen have come and shown us that our issues are more pressing then goaltending. Not that it wasn't an issue, but lights out goaltending and we still were sucked basically. We need better defense, a better philosophy around it for things to ultimately move forward for us
Thing is. Smiths stats aren't actually bad. Like at all. Considering how young our defense I could unfortunately ( personal opinion ) see him coming back
Any chance we keep Kakko next year? Is he younger, he was supposedly good this year minus our game against him. Why not keep him and try and move Allen again in the Offseason.
I'm curious. Does this mean VV is traded in the offseason cuz no way we are rolling with both him and Allen. I'm worries this means Fitz is pushing the can down the road on the goaltending thing issue.
Also what happened to Fitz this year? Up until this year every signing and trade he made he either won or made complete sense and was great ultimately minus Palat being overspent on but can make sense of it. This year this isn't the same GM we've had, it's like he's fell off the cliff. I'm curious what the hell is going on in that front office
He's the definition of a deadline piece. He's not signed next year, could maybe fetch something. We're dead weight this year and he probably won't be here next year regardless
Lot of you need to go to sleep and come back clear minded. Got some of you acting like you know everyone that called Fitz and everyone he called and chose the worst offer available. Maybe he got abfirst me a few days ago when they fee teams were overpaying, that's on him. But at this current moment that was probably the best. It is what it is. More sad that Miller and/or Smith are still here personally.
