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.

I honestly think this team is an Eichel and H. Lindholm away from being a top 5 contender. I think these two talented would fit the current core like a glove and push us over the top. I could also see Lindholm wanting to sign here with so many Swedes.
Also, I completely agree with your post!
