Any comparable or better player Calgary has has a contract issue, other than maybe Lindholm (and even his term is coming up).

Buffalo wanted picks and prospects. Tuch isn’t comparable to Lindholm. One is a first line center while the other is a second line winger.
If Adams was prioritizing the 25 year old in that deal over the picks and prospects he is as dumb as I think. I get it that Krebs was the target and they loved him. I think Adam’s likely got goodwill with the power agent representing Eichel to move him to Vegas which was certainly a preferred destination.
I need to re-evaluate what a steal of a contract is I guess? 4.75M for a guy who have averaged 47pts a season and missed nearly 80 games over the last 4 years.
Backlund has been an a steal of a deal these past few years I suppose? Scored more and plays a more critical position.
Or maybe Tuch and Backlund are on fair deals and not a steal?
