It is what it is. He is getting paid substantially more for the effects of the top-paid forward, and we aren't able to sign anyone else, or maybe even call up some kids to compete, because of it.

Most everyone else was garbage except Granlund, and there's no certainty he would have had chemistry with Panarin.

And our prospect centre situation is a dumpster fire. Really need to see if we can get a good young center piece for DeAngelo or Buchnevich when the time comes.

And Granlund hasn't played center in a long time.

Hyperbole like this is generally pretty unproductive to discussion, but I guess we can all watch Haula, Soderberg, and AA to see how they do this season.

I mean, who wants garbage like Haula at 1.75 when we can continue playing Smith, amirite?

$4.5 million is a top paid forward? Cmon. Sounds like a 2nd/3rd line forward pay in this league which is exactly what he is.

Panarin is the top paid forward. Strome is just getting paid a lot more than he deserves because of Panarin.

And why the rush to sign Jack Johnson on day one of free agency when they could have signed Koekkoek to the same deal and gotten FARRRRRRRRRRRRR more value out of it?

Maddening
 
I'm personally willing to give Jack johnson ,and to an extent J.Martin for likely recommending him, the benefit of the doubt and leave my judgment on him on this team until i see him on this team. If he can even improve our pk thats a huge win.

Was thinking the same thing when I couldn’t see one. Not a great hit but the kid plays with an edge that’s for sure. He’ll sit the next game but they’ll def need his physicality as the tourney goes on.
