In a vacuum, the contract isn't a bad one for a guy in his prime with a few good years under his belt.
The issue here, as always, is it makes no goddamn sense with the composition of the rest of the roster.
Farabee - Couturier - Konecny
Laughton - Frost - Michkov
Hathaway - Poehling - Tippett
Deslauriers - Cates - Foerster
??? - ??? - Brink
Foerster and Michkov are on ELCs, Brink is on a bridge deal, Konecny and Tippett are locked up until doomsday, and none of them are better on the left. Laughton and Hathaway aren't natural LW, either, Laughton's a center and Hathaway's a RW being pressed into service on the left. What the hell kind of structure are they going for?
