Never mind what people think of Brouwer or Frolic for a second.
They cost us nothing to acquire except cap space, which IMO we got good value re contract and term .
The tier one UFA were too expensive and term was too long.
When you trade for a Toffoli type player you are going to give up significant assets to acquire the player. By significant ...yes Bennett and perhaps picks....high ones.
I feel like this is eroding into a Oilerfanish debate.
Lombardi hangs up in a Ney York second if you call and offer him all three of Jankowski, Kylinger and Andersson for Toffolii.
Yeah , I'll give you that Brouwer may be .5 mill per season too much but he fills a gaping hole and didn't cost us any of our top young assets or picks. Cost of doing business in a free market.
I'm not certain that everyone is totally clear on how unrestricted free agency works.
