Chicago’s lack of success was based more on their core aging and decreasing their effectiveness.
If Calgary’s young players are instrumental in bringing us 3 Stanley Cups, we’ll end up with some bad contracts too.
Yes, signing Johnny and Tkachuk to huge contracts will effect their supporting cast. The alternative is letting them go so you are perpetually rebuilding. You just hope you win a cup along the way.
