I feel like the same was said with the moves Tre made after Gaudreau came along. Hamonic was only 27 and played with us for 3 years. Could of been longer.
Dougie was what, 23 or something. Had the makings of a long term move.
Tres UFA signings were thise midterm ranges too.
It just feels very similar to me. Obviously not the exact same, but a very similar vibe and timeline.
If anything it was more patient that time around, because we did bottom out for a couple seasons.
