Sure, but what objective is that holding back the team from?
The playoffs? They’re rebuilding and shipping out guys like Lindholm, Hanifin, and Tanev, so nope.
Giving opportunities to younger players? Not so far.
Trading for/signing big ticket players? Doesn’t seem to be the goal, and if it were, the Lindholm/Hanifin/Tanev salaries will allow them to do that.
Last year? Sure. In the future? Maybe. But right now? Huberdeau, his contract, and his production aren’t holding the team back from doing anything they need to do. If anything, more production right now might actually hurt the team in the long run.
So, as fans, who cares?
