Definitely, and with hindsight a trade for Eichel right now wouldn't make sense. In the offseason, it seemed that Gaudreau/Tkachuk would be cheaper. I thought Landeskog's $7M x 8 was a potential comparable for last year's Johnny. Now we're talking about $10M if not more. I'm just glad things worked out as well as they did with the players we have in place.
