It was easily worth it. But gone are the days that guys like Kane and Toews resign for $6mil for 5 years and Keith resigns for 12 years and Hossa does too all for $6 mil per or less.
Still yet to see anyone give an example of when a team tanks gets high end talent and that guy demand $10 mil to $12 mil on shorter term deals and that team went on to be one of the top teams in the NHL.
Since the Leafs and the Oilers reset the bar and front loaded deals were eliminated it is looking to be way less successful to tank for 3-5 years
Who do the Red Wings and Sens have that are head over heals better than the Flames?
What does Chabot make as the first star that Ottawa had to resign?
Managing the timing of your contracts and a retool is all that is needed. Reset the window of opportunity by selling this deadline
