Who said anything about surprise?

The claim was we didn't draft Cs. We did draft Cs. They just haven't amounted to anything yet

So, we have Minten who may be a 3rd line C someday and Holinka who again looks bottom 6. Our best bet is to try and upgrade Tavares who will vanish once paid. We aren't even a young team with almost every player post prime. Few players have much left at 30. When you look a couple of seasons out, they will suck with few prospects to take their jobs.

It's the normal cycle most teams go through.

I personally would look to move on from Tavares I rather pay a young player on the incline second line center money I am not paying Tavares 7 mill we don’t save anything paying him that giving marner an increase and accounting for mccabes pay bump wolls extension kiccin in and knies outstanding contract this team can’t look the same next year it’s impossible

A bit surprised he hasn't been noisy about it.

Question for you people...if Steeves was given the same runway as Robertson has been given, how different do you think their stats look this year?

Robertson has been given too much leash. Really not sure what he brings anymore

Give Steeves a long look. He could be another gem like McMann. Maybe he won't but worth a shot

So we use who as 2nd line centre, Minten? I like the kid, but having a 2nd line centre likely to score 10 goals is a recipe for disaster.

Tavares at 7 mill at 35 is a disaster.
