Except you’re not: You have two decent centres left behind him, Tkachuk, Gaudreau, and yeah, you’ve traded a good D but you still have 3-4 good ones. And a stellar goalie.
Markstrom’s a pro. Lindholm may have made him happy to come but the dollars made him happier. And he’s getting Jeff freakin’ Eichel on his team.
Skinner included makes it pretty hard to close though. 9M until 2027 (34 years old) for a guy who’s fallen off a cliff.
