The point stands that the extensions would have depleted the depth of the team.
Zadorov, Mangiapane all gone and we also needed to add to the backend.
The team would likely be in the same situation with those two and as said by dino Johnny has taken a step back which isn't surprising.
SO instead of 10 threads of people complaining about Huberdeau it would be Gaudreau.
Gullfoss would be throwing tomatoes at Tkachuk for getting Sutter fired.

So your point is this team was trash regardless? Is Gaudreau going to struggle to the same extent if he was still playing with Tkachuk and Lindholm?
My point is this team would be better had they kept their superstars instead of the guys they brought in to try and replace them. When your franchise players leave it is time to rebuild. The management of this team made the mistake thinking their depth was elite and would continue to carry them after swapping out stars.
