![]() JBB views all 3 as integral parts of the core now and well into the future. The 3 main rfas were never seen by management as trade chips imo. If not, he can be moved after the season. JBB missed so far on the Sheary signing, but there's still time to have it turn around. I agree that Serg was paid far more than he should've received, by at least 1.5 million(being generous), and Cernak maybe 500kish. There were many factors, but Cirelli's slight overpay is far from the main reason the team is missing 1 or 2 depth pieces of higher quality. We need him to be serviceable on offense while being among the best defensive forwards in the league, in order to justify the contract. I think 40ish points is the bar, given how limited his PP time/opportunity is. He has never really developed offensive chemistry with anybody who has ever come through the organization. I think there's a lot of value in that.īut for the time-being, his contract is for a decent (not top-end) 2C, and he isn't that. I'll take a guy who can contain the other teams' best players, even if he's not scoring. But I mean, I believe Cirelli has had some TERRIBLE playoff runs, but in more recent years he definitely has been a very effective shutdown player, and probably our best shutdown player. ![]() And I think that side of his game has perhaps been a little undervalued here. ![]() We are paying him like a two-way player, and he's really been a defensive specialist. I think the criticism of Cirelli's offense has been pretty fair. I don't know if we have enough in the cupboard right now to land anybody significant.
