Is there a difference between signing a 21 year old Hanifin, and a 23 year old Lindholm to signing a 31 year old Neal, a 31 year old Brouwer, a 31 year old Kadri, a 30 year old Markstrom, a 30 year old Huberdeau, or a 30 year old Coleman? You tell me.

Technically, we still don't really know what we have in Huberdeau or Kadri, as last year's mismanagement by Sutter destroyed their numbers. We don't know what their true value is in relation to their contracts yet. I'll give you one thing- the last few years of each contract will hurt, that much is certain. However, if the cap keeps going up, the salaries will seem slightly more palatable in time, especially if Huby puts up 80-90 points for the next handful of years.
