Why wouldn’t u wanna move either? They both struggle immensely defensively and cost us games non stop
They're both elite two-way Top 4 defencemen.
If you want to build a winning hockey team, you don't sell something like that off unless someone pays the asking price.
This season, we've had the following problems and there were probably plenty of others:
1. New ownership didn't formally take over the team until like two weeks before opening night.
2. We needed to fire the GM for throwing away a 1st round pick among other things.
3. We needed to fire the Head Coach and did so when the season was already lost.
4. We replaced the fired Head Coach with an interim that would probably like to retire from coaching altogether.
5. Our #3 Centre gets suspended for half a season.
6. Our interim #3 Centre until the suspension is over is AHL scrub and journeyman Rourke Chartier.
7. At least two-thirds of our bottom 6 is made up of AHL scrubs on most nights (i.e. the legendary 4th line of Kelly / Kastelic / MacEwen).
8. We needed to place key players like Chabot, Greig, Joseph and Forsberg on LTIR.
It's a mess.
And it's bigger than either Chabot or Chychrun.
