It's crazy to see our fans think the contract to Debrusk is insane with us having Anderson and Gallagher under contract. Debrusk is only 28 next season and has three 25+ goals season in career. The contract is 2 years too long but he's a good player with a playoffs track record.
Shouldn't that make us the expert on bad contracts for second line wingers? Do we want to roll these bad winger contracts over like GICs?

Debrusk is still young. And Marchessault is only making 5 million a year. You are getting him for at least 3 good years. He scored 45 goals last year. The last two are essentialy signing bonuses so you can get the player.

Debrusk is a 40 points guy signed until he's 34. This would be Anderson 2.0.

Marchessault I would have taken for 2 years, not 5.

I swear people are obsessed with us getting dead wood back while we still have a lot.

We have young guys coming in, no reason to butcher the future this summer, we are not going for the Cup in 2024-2025.

I’m usually pretty patient but after the comments about this being a big summer for them and needing to add offensive firepower, I’m pretty pi$$ed about today. There were at least a dozen options to add a top 6-8 forward to the team and nothing again.

Scraps left.

Playing for MSL is obviously not as alluring as they like to make it seem.

Not much for significant trades typically happen after July 1st either.

Ever since the all star game in Nashville they have had zero issues signing players. It's like they realized it's an awesome city and now they want to go there.
