Come on now. Dipietro? Yashin? Ladd?

All who played more than 1 year into their contracts before being waived. If you are not sure what your future may hold or what your options may be (as Lou readily admitted Tsyplakov acquisition changed things) you keep your options open by signing shorter contracts OR at the very least you try to sign a proven 1st or 2nd line player for that long a term and not roll the die like they did with Engvall and hope he turns into one. This is just terrible cap management.

He’s clueless on how to make space or find the open space. Brett Hull wasn’t the fleetest of foot, but knew where to go.

You mean you’re not supposed to watch Barzal navigate the whole zone before he loses the puck due to your inability to get open?
