There's some risk to it, but I can't hate what Ottawa is doing. Big money second contracts to
Tkachuk (age 22)
Norris (23)
Batherson (24)
Stutzle (20)
Chabot (25)
All of them signed to their late 20's or beyond. No one over $10M a year. If they project as planned, Ottawa has an amazing core for a long time. And, if the cap rises as projected, lots of flexibility down the line. If Calgary set themselves up with a group like that, I'd be very happy, so gotta give credit where credit is due.
