Hands off our Peeke

u guys got him for cheap too, good bridge deal, funny how u pay gudbrason 4M with term and peeke takes that offer

Experience matters. A lot.

Aside from that, I like this lineup because it gives the CBJ an elite playmaker on each of the top three lines. Obviously Johnson is unproven in the NHL, but if you've seen him play you can make a pretty safe bet that he's going to be a star.

its a horrible contract for a guy whos always injured, u cant justify it sorry.

You pretty easily can justify it. Not all decisions are made in vacuum. Circumstance matters. Gudbranson is really, really good at being physical and defensive, and that is exactly what this team was lacking last year. Combine that with his character in the room and he's worth the price. With another year of growth from the younger players, this team is going to surprise all the skeptics this year.

you can easily try to justify it, doesnt make it right tho, 31 teams would agree thats a horrible deal with wayy too much term
