I’m not a huge fan of the cap circumvention part, but I mean Ron Hainsey came here for his age 36 and 37 seasons and paired very well with Mo.Some of ya’ll are on drugs who the hell is getting excited about a defenceman who will be 35 years old this year slotting him on the top pairing? Let alone giving him a 7 year contract extension? Ffs
Tanev’s role would be similar.
So, I’m okay with three years based in that precedent.
Plus, I don’t mind some small injuries and load management. Timmins can get some games, Niemela can get some games, Lili can move up. It’s a long season.
It’s got some risk, but at least there’s some continuity there and a pause to the annual shopping for Mo’s partner at the deadline.
