And having one of the youngest teams in the league yet again is a BAD IDEA that saves money and lowers the likelihood that they actually win enough games to make the playoffs.
Being young and cheap year over year over year over year over year is not building a winner the right way.
Again, if you wish they were older that's alright, but being upset they're young and inexpensive is sort of double-dipping on the same thing.
You used florida as an example, but when you compare the teams, its not that different.
Making some generous contract assumptions.
Where would we like to spend?
9 extra million on some goalies?
Maybe we could have given tage 8 per year?
Depth? We average more there even if Krebs and Beck get the minimum QO.
The mid tier is about even before the lundell extension comes in.
Financially the biggest difference is goalies, and no one cares about than right now
The second biggest difference is the top group and A) they just get a little less, and B) they don't perform at the same level. And while you want to get older, those 4 guys, aside from mayyyybe cozens aren't moving.
Our middle group hasn't played as well as there's but thats not a spending issue because they make about the same amount. Again, lundell contract is the only difference. The bottom group is no different.
Don't get me wrong, if we can take advantage of our cap space and add extra guys, that's great, but the way our money is allocated on the current roster isn't the reason we're losing.
Oh come on, this made my heart flutter before I saw the whole thing
