Ladd's contract is not shorter. it is the same length, and it is one of the worst contracts in the NHL. Weber's contract is the only contract worse than it, I see you acquired him too....

...this is not a playoff team. It is a 10 year rebuild team with the contracts you acquired.

So yes I did look at the roster, I see rearranging of deck chairs on the Titanic and us getting older.

I am old, slow and ignorant, I do not know what you mean when you use the expression "LINK".
I plan to take all of the comments and tomorrow I will launch a new team, I made several errors with this one. The biggest one no one mentioned, Kostin is not NHL ready. Bailey is. I do not think CBJ would make that trade, I need to add to it. I will reduce the return for Ristolainen and add to the return for Eichel. I need to pick up an insurance card in case Bogosian is injured. maybe I can find a home for Pominville, maybe there is another team that I could trade Okposo to instead of NYI and Finally, I need better top 6 center than Dubinsky. So I have a lot of work. Regardless, Jack, Ryan, Rasmus and Sam will be gone, the team needs a new culture. Maybe you did not understand what I said, but a person very close to Sabre's hockey operations thinks Weber would be a great pick up in exchange for O'Reilly, so I plan to keep that.
You and I disagree about Milano, I will take the chance that he will grow up and give up good results.
But thank you for your comments. If I could have found a decent trading partner for Pominville he would have been traded. Last year he still performed at a top 6 level and I see no reason to believe he will not continue. I understand that you want Parayko, IMO SLB will not trade him one on one for O'Reilly.
The lines a bit irrelevant, I should have taken more time. As I said Kostin does belong in the NHL this year. Pominville would not be on the top line for many reasons (I would put him with a LHC for sure),
I need to add one more time THIS TEAM I BUILT IS MUCH BETTER THAN LAST YEARS TEAM, yes I am shouting. So the future is now, with a rock solid defense. solid LW, adequate Centers and RW. This team IS a play off team, not a last place bottom feeder. with 7 picks in the first 2 rounds and Rochester stocked to the hilt with prospects this team is good now and will only get better.

Thank you for your comment.
First, How are Jenner, Milano, Dunn, Kostin, Old. Savard and Bogosian are only 27 and only Weber is older among the defensemen. Ladd was an error and I will look for another home for Okposo. JVR is only 29 and JT is only 27. Dubinsky is older but his contract runs out in 3 years.

Thank you for you comment.
So Wever, JVR and JT are rearranging the deck chairs. Only one of the best centers and LW in the league, Weber Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award will lead our defense-men by action and words.

I was thinking the same thing. I think he's going for lines....

And no sweat on Ristolainen, If he can pull two firsts from Edmonton, and Buffalo can nail down its leadership elsewhere, it makes a lot more sense. He'd give the Caps great depth at a spot where they have two world class guys, and then nothing. He'd upgrade the Oilers' top pair.

It wouldnt be a playoff team. Theyre old and slow. And full of some of the worst contracts in the league.

Horrible moves all around.

thank you for your comments.
I listed the ages of the players being added and you ignored that and insist the team is old and slow. Please tell me who is old?
