Logan Stanley & Carrick

People complaining about these trades clearly never played hockey or don't understand NHL playoffs

Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson have dropped the gloves to fight for themselves more times than I'm comfortable with in the past years

Tage got destroyed by Stefan Noesen , and not a single player did anything to stand up for him Tuch got pieced up by Jake Mccabe. Cozens isn't on our team anymore , wasn't ever the same after getting fucked up by Garrett hathaway

Dunne, Malestyn , Krebs , Kozak , collectively can't fight or answer the call if one of our stars gets mugged

We get a 4th liner in Carrick that can take faceoffs , kill penalties , and allow other players to focus on their games and roles , and not have to worry about fighting if the situation comes up

Stanley brings size , depth , and will have better analytics under a team that is performing

Lindy Ruff knows how to use big stay at home defenseman and get more out of them

Our entire season got derailed when lucic ran miller because no one defended him, that is something that can happen

4 of your starting 6 defenseman can also get injured like in the ECF of 2006

These are good moves that makes us tougher , deeper , and more insulated for a long playoff run
