Teravainen also is locked in for 2 more years after this year for what is already a value contract. If the plan in Ottawa is to load up to go for a tittle in those 2 years, having a guy that could be rated 72-75 OV at $4.25 mil is the best asset to have in this trade, even if Terry is younger.
Probably overpaid to get it done, but timing is key and what a GM's plan is also key. I'm not sure what his plan is, but he seems to have one and overall has made good trades, so I trust he knows what he is doing.
Quality prospect added too as last year draft was deep.

Yup, the difference between youth and vets does exist but I feel like it’s overblown a lot of the time in this league
