Everyone is still bruised by the past and the long term crappy contracts to vets that were non-factors (Jokinen, Bouw (Iginla, Tanguay near the end??), and going back in the Sutter era - Friesen, Amonte). Getting into a bidding war on July 1 is not the answer. Youngish players with upside is what I want to see. I want the dressing room chemistry to progress and do want to see a re-creation of the jaded country club of days gone by.
