Rink Roundtable: After the Deadline

Now that the dust has settled, it’s time to weigh in on what GM Brian MacLellan did (and didn’t do) at this year’s trade deadline.

Another trade deadline in the books… first impressions, what’s your grade for Brian MacLellan’s work this year?

Rob: A low-stakes year where the team is already in the playoffs but facing an uphill battle and a surrounding arms race. Much like a pass/fail class, he didn’t go all out (or all in) but he let you know he was there and made some marginal improvements given injuries and coaching preferences.
