I agree with you that Dorsett and Sbisa deals stunk from the get go.
We will agree to disagree on the other 2 but i will leave you with this...
Burrows 1 point in 19 games. Higgins 1 point in 21 games.
Regarding Burrows, that was the contract you had to give to keep him at that time. Plus it was one of those statement contract that told everyone on the team if you take a pay cut, the team will still pay you fairly if you over perform that contract.
To lose him to UFA at that time would be well suicidal for any GM.
Fan favorite, scored probably the biggest goal for this franchise, played well in the last couple playoffs(at that point).
I think like every contract given to a vet that last till mid 30's, the risk will always be there but honestly if we didn't break the everyone take a little bit less culture, it wouldn't matter. It only matters now because of the all the other stupid contracts that is forcing us to think of ways to ease our cap situation.
