You act like this team had 70 points last year All of a sudden we are in a full rebuild and its time to let kids who probably aren't ready yet play until Belmont is built?

I'm not saying full rebuild mode but this roster honestly does not look like a true Cup contender and is this signing really going to put the Isles over the top? I rather focus on top 6 moves and let MDC and Otto play the 3rd line. It's time we saw real top 6 moves and not just 3rd and 4th line moves all the time.

One year in pro hockey and you have him penciled in as a 3rd line center on a playoff team. I don't see it happening, not this year at least

Dont try to follow ses, he wants moves but when they happen they are never big enough. 3c needs to be addressed I'm hoping Dobson makes the team and leddy is moved for a top 6 guy too, probably need to add to leddy for that to happen though

Edit: until marner signs the entire league is in a holding pattern

Otto had a fine year last year and is not 18 years old. He has to be at least close at this point and what better than to play for Barry?

Can you blame me? When was the last big move this team really made and since when is 3C more important than top 6? I do not get some of you guys at all. You want to waste Barzal's prime years like what happened to JT.

Disagree. Obviously they don't think he is close to ready yet otherwise they wouldn't bring in anybody, right?

Maybe but the Isles sure some super careful with playing young players until they are 1000% ready.

He'd be the Penguins first line center, ok?

Nobody has said that not even remotely close to that. This teams needs help in the top 6 and 3rd line center. If Brassard comes here that's an improvement over Fritz. So that solves one of the problems. Top 6 forward which is the hardest to get will hopefully be next. Not sure how filling in a short term 3rd line center role is wasting Barzal's prime years

Seems to be working really well for Pulock & Toews, so now that's a bad thing?

Not getting top 6 help is wasting Barzal prime years and I do not want him getting frustrated and leaving like JT did. That's it for me for a while. I'll be back when the season starts and this brutal and painful offseason is done.

What does that have to do with signing a 3rd line center that they needed? It's like you're complaining because they didn't do it in the order that you wanted Top 6 first 3rd line center 2nd

I don't like the fact that rumors had him signing a one year deal in Edmonton earlier today to all of a sudden going to the isles? This has 2 year deal written all over it

3c was a big hole and lou tried on panarin so he knows they need help. You need 4 lines in today's NHL I think we can all agree on that
