No one is thinking he will be a top 6 guy so even bringing that up is pointless. You just troll on here and give everyone 1 star ratings that you disagree with. Civil? maybe you need to look that word up. Straight up trash bro...
I honestly don't understand how calling out terrible decisions and rating them what they deserve is considered trolling. There are zero legitimate reasons to want Kunitz back in a Pens sweater if you so much as glance at his regression the last few seasons. He's backsliding hard into retirement, he wouldn't be playing with anyone he's "familiar" with, and there are younger, better players and free agents with more upside that can fill his role. Would you feel better if I went point by point for every reason that I downvote a team?
It's pointless to trade Hunwick with retention, then turn around and give John Moore almost as much salary and the same amount of term. The team isn't substantially better, you're out even more cap space, and you still have a defenseman playing on his off-hand, so that whole series of moves is a waste. Then there's Nash, who will be chasing a payday and won't want to sign for a 4th line role on a team that's paying him half of what he can probably snag from a more desperate organization. He's been an average depth player his whole career, and suddenly one big season and not only does everyone want him, but they want him at a discount after a career year? That's just asinine. Then there's signing Jarry, a player with no arbitration rights and a short NHL track record, to a contract that's 300-400k too rich, then demoting and potentially losing DeSmith without knowing if Jarry is ready to be a serviceable backup at the NHL level. That's a great way to end up with zero goaltending depth and potentially an entire lost season due to one injury or underperformance.
Is that breakdown preferable to just pointing out the most glaring problem, or is it still somehow trolling?
