It’s quiet amazing actually.

And cap flexibility as Weegar and Huberdeau make $4 mil less than Tkachuk and Gaudreau did last year.
2 Canadians who are pending UFAs and Huberdeau is the same ago as Johnny
Tkachuk is 24 so that does hurt long term even if Weegar and Huberdeau stay
That first in 25 is a factor too. Fla looks great now but 2 years from now they are short picks and have some RFAs and UFAs to resign. Bobrovsky likely still making $10 mil at a pretty old age too
