So it should surprise no one that
The GM left
A 34 yr old looking at for sure his last contract signalled he'll move on if he can't win here
A 29 year old looking at his last big payday isn't jumping to commit to a team that has never had success in his lifetime.
Some people want that to be scandalous. It isn't.
Tkachuk leaving wasn't a drama. He gets to live in flip flops, make twice as much, and play in great facilities. Why would Lindholm or Backlund not see it and think if I can't win a cup I should at least have that.

That's still showing major issues in the franchis.there is the obvious discrepancy between the players and management.if top players are leaving because they can't see winning a cup hereeven though we have a HoF coach, yet management is views this old roster as a competitor, that's a pretty massive issue. You cant be losing 2 top players a season. Throw in your long tenured GM walking. There's obvious issues. What they are is up for discussion. If you want to call it a scandal is semantics. But there are defintely massive issues.
