SP depth but might also be reason to think he can be more impactful in shorter stints. Don't mind this one at all.
Frasso seemed like an interesting arm to possibly try and accelerate up to help the pen, but he's also 23 in A ball.
Yeah I was thinking more along the lines of guys who could possibly advance to the upper minors this summer and work their way into the mix by next year.

Some college guys trending up after the CWS. I like the idea of pounding the board with top college relievers as some of the under slot picks today. Potentially get some much needed BP help in the near term.
He's pretty terrible, not the kind of guy you want for a playoff push. Some speed and flash to his game but zero substance. You would get more out of giving some hungry young grinder his shot.
I didn't really see the fit in the first place. Between the Hughes bros, Hischier, Bratt etc, they are already built on small skilled types. I just don't think you get far in the playoffs with smurf team.
Getting paid some picks to try Murray at that rate for two years is an exponentially better gamble than paying starter's money to Campbell on a long term deal. Obviously can't say for sure what other options may have been available to them, but out of those two there's no comparison.
I feel like I've been dropped into an alternate reality where Campbell isn't a 30 year old career backup with one pro season where he started 40+ games. The insiders saying the Oilers will give him 5×5M?
I wouldn't have said the same in previous years. They had a fantastic season and pushed the two time defending champs (and recent finalists) right to the brink. It's unfortunate that circumstances led to those two teams meeting in round one. In the least they were among the best 3-4 teams in the East but in my opinion Toronto and Tampa would have been the most fitting ECF.
These umps really are in a position of privilege. Imagine the world we'd live in if the vast majority of people were to blatantly screw up their job dozens of times over in one night.
That was a complete embarrassment behind the plate last night, they should face discipline when they f*** up that bad.
Good on Walker for finally blowing his lid, was waiting for our skipper to show a pulse.
The two best teams made it through, should make for some great hockey.
I think in the end, I think the Bolts are healthier, have the better goalie and that extra confidence from having been there before.
"Just looking to make a change" sounds more like someone contemplating a new haircut than a manger explaining why he actually pulled a top 10 prospect mid game.
