Prior to last year, how many of these posters would have said the same things about Erik Karlson as they are saying about Huberdeau/Kadri/Markstrom now?

Well, IMO Karlsson's a bad example because I still wouldn't want him even after his production last season. But sure, the overall point's fine - hell, look at Bobrovsky.
The other thing is - you pit all of the pendiong UFAs up on the market at the same time and you dilute the return by flooding the market with 2 centres and 3 defencemen (plus Toffoli).
