It's why it was so imperative they take the gamble on Eichel. That would've given them a direction.
They're not going to get better when Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuk and Mangiapane cost them $35-$38M instead of $21M

I am with you 100% there. I am still disappointed Treliving didn’t make Eichel happen and if the result was an overpay I would have been cool with that because the potential for Eichel was/is so high. I felt that deal opens up a 5 year window. If he is permanently injured it would have crippled the team but I prefer they take the risk instead of staying the course.
