Well as a GM I think this is a little more on the nose about how I am feeling on the team at the current moment. Being as Fuzz and then later myself took over in Los Angeles after free agency had started it was a little rough as some of the bigger names were already signed and others from our team left as well without a new contract. It was definitely rough, especially on our defensive core. We had very little options going forward on that blue line and decided a patch work defensive line was the way to go for the season as we honestly didn't have many options other than making absurd trades on a barren market. Moving forward we need to focus on building up our prospect pool some more to prevent these situations from happening where we have no one ready to make the jump up to the big leagues to fill spots as well as potentially go after some bigger names in free agency to whomever actually makes it to free agency. The team overall is a good spot outside of the defensive depth so addressing that in the next offseason specifically will be a huge plus to the team and allows us to shore up our (in my opinion) only weak spot.
