Sign your young guys first for as long as possible and then go get some senior citizen leadership from the UFA pile.

Didn’t Tkachuk resign in 2019? Is there precedent to a player of Tkachuk’s caliber extending to a long term deal a year before his ELC expires? name one. Also do you believe, after all we’ve seen, that is how Tkachuk goes about his business? Please. 2+2 doesn’t equal 6. You’re reaching.
Again, the direction from Edwards, in all likelihood, was make the playoffs. Not make the playoffs in 2-3 years. Make the playoffs now. It’s been that way since the cap.
Lastly, there’s no reason to believe your suggested way of how things should have/could have turned into better results. Tkachuk’s not here anymore and I doubt, very much, it was ever going to play out any different. Laying the blame at Treliving’s feet is completely unfounded.
