I don't think ZAR is going to hold the trade value you think he is.
A. the point totals, not that that alone defines a player.
B. the injury history. That really knocks the value. But to be honest I don't think he's the guy to move because Sceviour really isn't a better player than ZAR.
I think the reason they took the keys from JR is because he wanted to trade. I don't think they are that interested in doing that. Not at any great expense.
Which explains the FA signing.
I'm not overly worried about it at this point.
Honestly if they really had injury issues they could just be like ....oh look a COVID outbreak and get off the ice for a week.
We don't know what we got injury wise. no one as said. The hit to MP, I'm sorry that didn't look like it caused a major injury. Dumo, I don't know what happened there. He was already down when the puck shot. We don't know what's up with him.
So don't over react to what the position of the team is. We just don't know.
Losing Matheson and Riikola was no big deal. Just being honest.
I think we are going to see a bit of an internal struggle that JR lost here.
A. they took his trade keys away.
B. they are starting to play their younger players again, no more BS on that.
POJ will do as a 3rd pairing, like you see him play and you go wtf did we trade for Matheson. Horny was easier to move to seattle.
You see OConnor hit the ice and go, WTF did we sign and play people like ERod.
I have to think they are looking at the youth at RD right and going what else did he F up.
Guys may play out of position but I don't think that's going to stop them.
I'm also wondering if they are looking at Poulin.
Because we all damn well know when the season started we had him in there. There really wasn't much of an excuse as to why not now.
The kids sitting at home now, can't play games. They had nothing to lose. It's not like Sceviour is anything special.
If they bring in a Poulin they can move McCann to Center and Blueger down to 4th line and throw Jankowski to taxi squad.
I really think the lack of judgement on the youth and bad choices in trades and signings was the end for JR.
