This is my philosophy. We would never get stuck with a Benn, Seguin, Huberdeau, Lucic, Loui Eriksson, Josh Anderson, etc. Very few turn out like Kopitar and Crosby.

How do you know which ones are Danault and which ones are Anderson when you are signing UFAs though. I’m the opposite, pay the stars and avoid filler UFas like Neal, Brouwer etc. The issue with the Flames cap management was that it was tied up in mediocre UFAs which led to Tkachuk’s bridge and the implosion.
Much higher chance of internally replacing a Neal level guy than a Nylander level guy.
