Otherwise we're both agreeing it's been an issue, and a place of concern. I even got into how they missed the mark on Brouwer and Neal's underlying numbers and lack of speed at their age.
Stone is what he is. At 3.5M in today's NHL that's not a crippling signing, it's a guy over paid by about a million bucks as an insurance policy. Ryan was great. Engelland was value. The first year of Hiller was fine. Frolik has been good. Raymond was a face plant at the time they were trying to get to the floor.
Every team has one of these guys for the most part ... or have wiggled out of one recently.

This is a minor point, but if Raymond was signed to a 3 year contract for the purpose of getting to the cap floor in year 1, I would lose my mind.
One of Tre’s problems has been overpaying for depth players. Even his best signings are singles (useful players at a high price).
