I hate they had to trade Cole. I mean HATE. Granted, he hasn't played quite the same since his neck injury, but he still has that crazy move that gets me off the couch and spill my beer when he scores.
I think we'll end up paying quite a bit for Pik, as he would have had a high price tag had he been a UFA. D-men went for way too much (ex:Jeff Finger!!!)
At least him and Tuomo will gel, being close friends. Maybe both will play even better, who knows.
I understand their logic thinking they could sign Babchuk, but has he really changed at all? If you watched the interview with JR, I sure don't get a fuzzy feeling. Seems more like they didn't have much of a choice, budget-wise.
Lastly, I'd rather see some prospects like Bowman and Sutter play than giving Bayda his umpteenth go.
Hmph
