This team is better, but all the big FA signings are .5-1.5 million short IMO. would probably have to choose between trocheck and rust in this scenario

Obviously better but you underpaid all the UFAs. We don’t need to go after someone like Forsberg. It’s time to start setting the ground for the eventual rebuild that’s around the corner

Lemieux is four years younger than Zucker, grittier, and can probably be signed for three years at one-third the AAV of Zucker. So that'll be a No.

Sullivan has no use for Lemieux.

Nah, management wants to win with Sid so as long as him and Jake are clicking I don’t think they’ll rebuild
