I thought NYI got new owners that cared about the team. I guess they think giving Lou control is what's best considering his past (past being the key word) success, but this is crazy.
You can maybe justify the Sorokin deal on its own, but not when you then sign Varlamov for 4 years seeing how hard it is to move guys with term and money recently. Mayfield is a nice player but you don't want to lock him in for 7 years at his age, so much evidence of that deal going bad and quickly.
The Engvall deal is in a category of awful all on its own. Maybe I am missing something but 3m for 1 year seems like an overpay. 27 years old, career high of 35 points. How is this a guy you look at and say we need him to be on our team long term?
