and of course Pierre Maguire doesn't like the move. I listened a bit to
his interview this morning on tsn 690. Apparently exchanging a prospect
at 18 (soon to be 19) for a 22 year old established top 3 forward is not
advisable because of the difference in age. Fairly lame argument in my
books. He was actually quite intense with his dislike of this move. Now,
I will agree if for instance they get rid of Galchenyuk and don't sign
Radulov. Then the move would make no sense. This move has to be an
improvement. If its just to band aid over the loss of Radulov while
Galchenyuk is traded for a defencman (as is the rumour) then this move
is a joke. It would be worse than a move sideways. It would be a loss in
the very area that they need improvement - scoring. So I'll wait to see
what transpires between now and July 1 before passing judgment on this
move. Maguire should do likewise but he's a fucking blowhard most times
so he needs to play the clown I suppose.
