Look, I get why he is signed, as Florida wants to do a 3-peat. But this will age exceptionally bad.
Zito knows it will age badly. But when you’re in Florida’s position, the next 3-4 years of your franchise matters way more than years 5-8.

The model in the NHL these days is for contenders to push all their chips in. It’s why all of the top contenders this season (besides Carolina) have traded away at least three of their 1st-round picks in a 4-year span. Banners fly forever, etc.
