I understand the inclination to sign Batherson and Tkachuk to bridge deals, but if that's the case they HAVE to be shorter so we can retain RFA status at the end (i.e. they expire before they turn 25). Otherwise it's way more of a bidding war and its much easier to lose them that way.
I also think everyone is underrating Pinto's potential to be the 2C. At the very least give the Norris-Pinto-White-Paul Center lineup try and work before changing it. I also think by signing old vets to massive contracts like you are with Stastny is a Buffalo-style move. Stop signing vets and keep letting the kids mature they came miles this year when we let them do just that.
