Agree, with the salary cap it is very important to have contributing players on an elc.

He is a phenom but we shouldn't be mortgaging what we believe is a phenomenal future for a single player who can't win by himself. Our supporting cast isn't good enough.

Saying that Gaudreau could be better than stamkos by the end of the season? You haven't said that, but that's simply ridiculous. He has slowed down noticeably after his injury, sure but he still scored 43 goals last season and co-lead his team in points with 72. With Bennett on his wing, they could do some serious damage. If He's available, I believe I believe you grab him at all costs because he's worth it... only if he is guaranteed to sign.
