Time will tell which moves work and which moves don’t.
Articles like this are easy to write; what always amazes me is when the articles discuss who was added to a team–NOT who has left a team. Or who still needs to be traded from a team to fit the new free agent into the lineup.
Shiny and new always seems to be the best approach in the off season; lose a great D man to another team; and then add a D man makes a team improved you say; and why is that?
Free agency is a fun time — a risky time — and is just one of the ways a team can improve; draft — trades — internal promotions; free agency — trade deadline moves. We will use them all. That is all we can do.
Sorry we aren’t making big news Caps fans in free agency; but we will improve — we will use all of our tools; I am confident in that plan of attack. And haven’t we earned a benefit of the doubt — I guess not with OFB?. Time will tell who is right or wrong; I shall save this one to discuss at a later time.
