The Seattle media tried so hard to pump his tires but it was pretty clear he’s not a middle six player in the NHL and he’s not really effective as an ‘energy’ guy. If you only play 3 lines and you can afford to have a guy on the bench who only plays PP time he *could contribute I guess.

What did you think of the SEA moves? That Chandler signing was horrid

Chandler signing is gross
Montour cashed in and got overpaid by a mil or so. But Dmen are pricey...
Seattle is a victim of Vegas' starting success. Tried to come out of the block quick like the Knights, but now have a mismash team that has no identity. Kinda like the Habs after the bubble thingy thinking they were a legit contending team.

Enjoy Heinen. He is one of the more underrated players in the NHL with a good motor and can play anywhere in the lineup. Not happy we let him walk over 2.5 million. - Mahewman

I mean, decent players, but the $ and term is gross. Both those deals are going to be a problem in the future.
You guys need to jettison Garland now, I think new Jake is your new Garland. The other moves were all solid if unspectacular which is exactly what you want July 1st to be.
Sold a bill of goods based on a flawed build. I thought Francis would have done better. - carsonagenic
The prospect pipeline is solid. If you ignore Vegas, they’ll be more competitive faster than the other recent expansion teams. The playoff run hurt them because it shifted expectations.

Vegas won a cup how can you include Seattle in the same convo?

Curious as to why you would think that. He righted his ship after the apparent trade request and Tocchet using him immensely. Don't wanna toss the towel in on Garland yet IMO...

I guess because he will get pushed down the depth chart and $5m seems like a lot for a third liner.
If you take what’s out of the picture, because what they got at expansion has never been seen before, nor will (likely) ever be seen again.
So compared to the likes of Columbus, Nashville etc, I think Seattle will become more competitive, more quickly. - 1970vintage
Aah Smashville came outta the gate pretty decent & a PO team for years with far less of a pool of unprotected players to pick from . Try again. Seattle well on their way to being CBJ west if they don’t smarten up & trying to be a later lottery team.
