These "Rookie Dubas got played" threads are getting tired.
Clearly times are a'changin in the NHL, McJesus set the bar, look no further than Eichel.
It is easy to argue our young high paid studs havent won anything, but as a long time fan I feel alot closer than in alot of previous years. I have no problem paying 4-5 very good players, mostly young with room to grow.
Most every media outlet and chatroom expected this was about the number, many said alot higher.
Just getting tired of online geniuses (ok mostly haters on the main forum) predicting doom and gloom, when we have been thrust into the new FA world with a storm of young RFA talent all at the same time.
I think overall we are doing about right and Nobody in hockey Lou or otherwise could do much better based on current climate and our young guys numbers.
I would trade Matthews for McDavid in a heartbeat and be laughing knowing what their contracts are now.
