It looks to me like there maybe was truth to the Marchant Pasternak rift rumour. Why else would Marchant be on the outs like this ?



I dont see any rift evidence, just Sweeney being logical and not dealing from emotion. Marchand is a pending UFA who is turning 37, has had multiple major hip surgeries the past couple offseasons and is out again with an injury. You dont pay 37 year olds for what they were.

For reference, at the same age Bergeron, Krejci and Chara signed 1-2 year deals worth under $2 million a year
 
The Lindholm and Zadorov contracts are going to hurt them down the line.

Should they have avoided these big UFA contracts and gone for a rebuild sooner?
“I am not exposed” says that a team just off a 109 points season should have gone for a rebuild. Did you think before posting this or it was just the spurt of the moment?
