What's the point of rebuilding when we signed Markstrom to a 6 year deal a year ago? Also, the signing of Coleman and acquisition of Zadorov isn't really labeling us a rebuilding team either.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for a rebuild. But, ownership and management disagrees. The minute we hired Sutter as coach the rebuilding dreams died.
So, how do we get this team better? We need elite talent. A franchise C or D. There is not franchise D on the market right now, they are all currently signing ridiculous contracts. Eichel is worth every penny of that 10m contract. We have to do what it takes to acquire him. Even it it means overpaying a little bit to get the deal through.
