Gio, then you move more than just Frolik and you start playing rookies. Long term health of the franchise vs trying to win in 3 year increments. It's always been this way with ownership/management, and it's patently stupid.

Yup. I was saying for a long time that Tkachuk was a better player than Gaudreau, and he was the guy to go all in on. If there was a chance that he would have signed long term at the time the bridge deal was signed, I'll be pretty mad.
I was not surprised he hit 100 points, and not surprised he is doing it again.
