Cool, that explains why we disagree. I’d love it if that were the case but I’m not sold on that. Time will tell and you very well may be right.
What part aren't you sold on? I'm not saying it's going to be a good team, but it's better than handing out lots of money or term for a middle 6 center like Danault, or trading for a bottom 6 center with a bad contract like Henrique.
I think Guerin may try to scrape the bottom of the barrel for more Bonino, Johansson, Bjugstad type free agents/expiring contracts. Top of mind include guys like Bozak, Stepan, Stastny for FA's, or Strome, Carter, Turris for expiring guys, and I think they'll promptly find that, like the few we have now, they're not viable top 6 centers, and Rossi will take the spot.
But regardless, this team is not going to get better by employing any of these players, so why would we want to give them term?
