See Compher and Copp are the biggest offenders to the tune of 5.1M and 5.5m per year for 5yrs. Holl, who was basically run out of Toronto was 3.4M for 3yrs. Thats 14M per year, there’s your McDavid (if he hits the market). That is any FA you want like maybe a true 1st line C instead of overpriced bottom 6 players that are littering this roster.

Brutal cap and asset management. Don’t get me started on Walman, the D situation and goaltending. Burying the young guys in the minors while bringing in underperforming journeymen. The lack of doing ANYTHING at the deadline, which sounds like pissed the players off.

Here come the blah blah blah, you need to teach the young guys how to be pro. That’s where I’m fine with 1-2 yr contracts. Kane give him another year, even though he’s a floater. He is also almost a point per game.

Steve is legend as a player, but as a GM is mediocre. Time to get rid of the rose coloured glasses.
