The Athletic says we should go after McMann

The Athletic says we should go after McMann

Curious about folks' thoughts here. McMann is a nice player who is the same age as Keller, but I don't follow the logic. While Yamamoto is not a top-sixer on paper, that line was cooking with gas. It's one of the *last* things I'd be worried about if I were GMBA and trying to get us deeper into the playoffs, especially because if it's not working as well next year it's easier to trade for a second-line winger than many other potential needs.

Obviously, money makes all the difference here: a player like McMann would potentially be a huge upgrade for our *third* line, but presumably he's going to command second line money (and the massive delta between goals and expected goals from this past season suggests he might end up being pretty overpriced).

Curious who folks still watching are for and against. (If your first choice isn't Buffalo, you probably don't cast a reflection, so really I'm wondering who the other picks are.) I have to admit that I struggle to find a villain aside from Vegas: to me this is an unusually compelling group of teams.
