And almost certainly so did the Tkachuk, Norris and Stutzle negotiations. You're not locking up a young 20 year old core if you're telling them you won't be competitive until they are 30.
Giroux, Debrincat, the arena deal, probably all actions used to keep the core around.
And then it's not even really fair to look at results for Ottawa when arguably their best player from 2021-2022 missed the entire season.
