Brouwer's contract is the only one that really might “hamstring” us
It’s tough to find a diamond in the rough when your not searching.

A lot of these players in their own ways have contributed to us not being where we need to be. We’re still pay for Mason Raymond by the way so he’s still negatively effecting the team. Hiller ruined our 15-16 season with his .879 sv%. Deciding to keep Bollig cost us Paul Byon whose been unreal for the Canadiens. Shinkaruk cost us a servicable NHLer whose team is currently ahead of us in standings right now. Hamonic and Lazar cost this team a potentially unprotected 1st round lottery pick along with 3 x 2nd round picks. Lack’s performance speaks for itself and Troy Brouwer may be the worst UFA signing in franchise history. That’s a lot of screw ups in a short period of time that doesn’t give me much confidence in upper management going forward.
While overall these decisions may not be considered egregious, you only need 8 other teams in the conference to do a better job and that’s why we’re currently sitting outside the playoffs despite heroic efforts from Mike Smith and Johnny Gaudreau. We would be Arizona bad if it weren’t for these guys.
