Quoting: dewbee
I glossed over the random 6th and 7th rounders and assumed it was RFA offer sheet compensation. After taking a closer look, you sold Edmonton a bunch of mooks for a package of garbage late rounders. And I did neglect to properly roast you for signing a 37, a 39 and a 40 year old and then using a straight face to call this a contending team. My apologies for missing all of that earlier, I hope I did not offend.
You are demonstrating ageism with your comment. These players may be older than other players in their "prime" but that does not mean they are unable to produce. Joe Thornton had 51 points last year in 73 games. Clayton Keller puts up 47 points in 82 games and nobody bats an eye at the ridiculous 8yr/57 200 000 contract given to him. Joe Thornton is a much better value player. Don't old shame him.
