At least it'd be a nice team to root for.

Hertl instead of Kuznetsov would have been 10x better for this team

DW went to crap in this deadline

As soon as I saw the Hertl trade, I fell to my knees in a Harris Teeter

The Kuzy trade is meh, but Hertl would've been infinitely better

Just fell to my knees in a cookout drive-thru...

Kuzy is one of the most toxic contracts in the league and we paid to even take 50% of it. and he has another year. It can be a lot worse than meh

I agree. Would've liked it a lot better if Washington had given us a 3rd to take half his contract. The good news is Orlov is his best friend and we have Svech and Kochetkov too. Plus he has experience with Rod, Aho, and Guentzel from the all star game two years ago. He now has plenty of motivation to be the player he once was since apparently he didn't have any before.

If you’re mad about the Guentzel trade you’re delusional

It was an overpayment. Im not mad about it but its still an overpayment

Okay man. Ponomarev and Koivunen weren’t even in our top 5 prospects and the picks are conditional on us making the finals…

Yea i'm a little more critical about the Kuzy trade now that I'm seeing how little Hertl pulled. Not bc of what we gave up, but just the risk that it is. Would've rather paid up for the more long term security of Hertl. But the Guentzel trade was a steal and it'll look even better if we're successful in re-signing him.

Unfortunately we don’t have a 9.5M dollar player to stash in LTIR
