That, or, it’s impossible to move ‘bad’ contracts and we won’t be able to recover for the next decade, so what’s the point?
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?

Who has said done/easy?
I would say the same thing about Karlsson now, he had a great season as good as you could hope for how did that work out for where his team finished in the league?
Even if Kadri, Hubredeau and Markstrom return to their career norms that isn't enough to turn us into a contender.
What is easy to see is that mediocre teams don't win anything, that a team with an old mediocre roster and few to no quality young assets aren't going anywhere.
