Agreed. Plus I still wonder if those star players looked around the locker room and the prospect pipeline and new the team wasn't going anywhere. Why not take a chance on another roster? I also think travel restrictions due to COVID had an impact. We've all seen how close the Tkachuks and Gaudreaus are. Imagine being trapped in Canada and not being able to see your family for months.
Anyway, glad to see Connor sign.
