That's fine though - I willl give him props for trying to fix the mess he created himself. Let's pump the breaks until there are some games played though...

He effectively made his team older this off-season without much of an improvement from last season.

I am with you that in a few years, we may question these contracts.

Huberdeau isn’t materially older than Gaudreau, if at all
Weegar is 2 years younger than Gudbranson
Only Kadri is older than Tkachuk, really

Everybody who was on the team last year is a year older, I guess.

And I don’t care. I want to watch winning hockey now

And if Pelletier sticks, we have some fresh blood

But for now, as someone else said, he was handed a turd sandwich (whether or not he contributed, maybe the hens came to roost. Either way, the 13 and 19 train had sailed), and managed to shine it up pretty darn good

No dead cap

Only one bad contract, which drops off next year and is more than offset by Huberdeau’s remaining 5.9 and Lindy’s sweetheart deal

I am excited for this year and the next few

I don’t care about 5 years from now
