You gotta pay to get. And if Tre continues to bargain shop this team will continue to suck. Bargain goalie out of Europe, Hamonic because of a cheap contract, Austin Czarnik, Derek Ryan, Rieder .... Yeah, here come the Flames.
ROR, Mark Stone, Bishop, Lehner are just a few recent players on the move that we didn't want. Frustrating.

lol just because OEL gets paid a lot doesn't mean he's good. Gio is the exception, not the norm. To take on 60 million dollar risk becasue Gio had a unique development curve is insane.
Part of putting together a good team is having players that outperform their contracts. There is nothing wrong with the players you mentioned. Completely different scenarios all together.
We tried for Mark Stone- he didn't want to sign a long term deal here. It takes two to dance. Same for Bishop- even then how valuable is he? The Stars are excelling without him. Should have been in on ROR though, I agree. Hated the argument that he's "not a winner".
