All in all, I think this will be a commitment similar to the one Bowman, and CHI made to their core after winning their cups. I would much rather be in FLA's shoes and have Barkov @ 10M x 6, Tkachuk @ 9.5M x 6, Reinhart at 8.625 x 8, and Frosling 5.75M x 8 making what McDavid + Draisaitl will cost.
Four! How do they ice a better team when McDrai and Bouchard contracts kick in??
