Foegele is pretty much on par over 82 games as to where he has been the last 3 seasons; 30 point pace. That's more like struggling to improve. Perhaps that is all he will ever be. He's -11, which is likely a product of playing on a team that doesn't score much 5v5.
Signing Keith, Barrie and Ceci, while losing two defensive D like Bear and Larsson, seems like a real backwards move. I don't llove Larsson, but he was a thorn in our sides when he played well. Bear was just developing into a decent RD. Barrie is and was a tire fire defensively, so I don't get the need.
Add to this waste of cap, they actually overused cap because they knew that Klefbom would not play. Nuge re-signed to full term. Nurse given top D pay next season. Not only have they screwed up the cap this year, but they presently can't re-sign Puljujarvi to anything other than another bridge deal or replace a UFA Koskinen.
What's concerning now is that Hyman and Puljujarvi have gone silent.
Zack silent in the last 11 games.
Ouljujarvi silent for the last 6.
Nuge (when he was playing) has 3 goals in 30 games.
