It was not the contracts it was that the owner did not want to and waited until they were so bad they had to

But man, they've had a rough five years. That would be tough.
And it's certainly why the Flames are trying to do the retool "Dallas" model. Sharks are on a 7-10 year rebuild path.

Or they hopefully don't try to re-tool and just embrace the suck. If they trade Markstrom, Andersson, Sharangovich, and Kuzmenko they will be a bottom three team instead of a bottom ten team. Extra credit if they can trade Kadri for some value
