At the trade deadline Jarmo Kekalainen added veteran depth to the roster at little cost, shoring up multiple parts of the lineup. Shopping at the untrodden end of the rental market, Jarmo conserved top draft picks and spent mid-draft picks in the third and fourth round in multiple years. He accomplished two things; he told his existing roster he trusted them and he brought in reinforcements to prop the team up. For me as a fan, I was really pleased by these moves.
