Fair point … An enormous factor in all of these deals is I simply don't want to go x8 with anyone of them so we could have received even less and I probably would still be OK with the trades. I think x8 years for Ottawa with 29 year old type players is a franchise death wish.
Franchise death wish on the 8 year deals...yes i agree with that... just my opinion but of the 3 Duchene is the one i would have signed
I think the 8 year UFA deals will come to be seen as death wishes for any franchise....the league cannot pay top dollar to UFAs and to post ELC stars....not enough cap hit to go around and it's going to be the UFAs that lose that discussion
