It didn’t make sense for us to add a player, unless:
1 - it was someone who would be here 2-3 years (ie don’t waste assets on a rental)
2 - fill an immediate structural need - legit 2C\RHD who has potential to be a top 3 dman, or at least top 4 and is an upgrade on Carierre (bridge gap between Hage, or Reinbacher/Mailloux).
3 - be a prospect who has the potential to be a big part of our future.
4 - would not be overpaying for a quick fix or a bandaid solution.
i would have preferred to actually have moved one of Armia unless he signed to a reasonable (around 50% reduction), or Dvorak. And definitely would have wanted to move Savard. But I get that the Guhle and Dach injury probably limited the ability to move Savard and Dvorak.
