After preaching patience over and over recently, yzerman’s actions today said enough of that imo. Brings in 5 guys.
I think if the goal is short term win more much more games he achieved that no question.
My question now is our young core good enough? These moves took us out of the high to mid part of next years highly regarded draft. We are probably now looking at a pick around 14th. You can land a guy like Larkin there but it’s certainly harder than 6th or 8th. I thought we needed 1 more high end building block.
this approach can work but kasper and Edviddson and/or someone else must pop or we land a major piece in free agency coming up next year or soon there after. Pastarnak and huberdeau may come on market next summer.
if the goal is playoffs we got closer to that , if it’s cup contending in 3-4 years the way we get there just changed at the minimum. I think now we will need to land a big piece via free agency that’s not currently here. I was hoping to avoid that by getting a top end kid in 2023 via the draft
