Such a collision of ignorance. Security theater at sporting events, privileged participants assuming the rules don’t apply to them, overzealous cops with a hard on for action
They need to trade some of their surplus draft picks for guys.
They can afford to overpay a 3 year contract (welcome back Patrick), but can’t really go big on any term beyond that.
There’s just about zero chance they’ll be good next year. We’ll be lucky if they have a proper 1st line. They might battle for a playoff slot 25/26 season.
