Then how do you suggest to make this team better?
by doing nothing stupid.
This team keeps over reacting and reaching.
As it stands right now, not knowing if Zucker is coming back, I do nothing.
I know that's hard for some people to deal with, but they need to wait till the offseason. The 1st way you improve the team is move Matheson. He's playing well, he's young, the contract isn't huge. You move that out.
Then you bring in a C for the 3rd line. But considering what is available to do that right now, it's not worth doing atm.
This team isn't going to magically find 3 NHL forwards, with no cap, and little to trade. You must realize that at this point.
This is the kind of mistake that JR kept making. Sacrificing the next year for this one. And it just kept spiraling down hill out of control. To where we are now. It has to end. Pause, hit the reset on the offseason where you can have cap space. Possibly a rookie like Poulin, and make a push. Then the next year maybe they get lucky, get some team deals on Malkin and Letang, open up a little more space and start can add to it. But chasing our tail with a team this bad, is the wrong thing to do. So lets keep our young good LD, instead of ruining the defense for next year and bide our time.
