The main problem here is bringing in aging UFA's with TERM to block prospects who are basically NHL and need NHL playing time. Dillon for 3 years means Miller not getting into the top 4 for awhile and Robertson not touching the NHL for 3 years. Gudas for 2 years means Lundkvist not coming up for 2 years. Both of those things are big problems.
Not to mention keeping Gauthier on the 4th line which is something you'd like to avoid with someone of his ceiling, as well as Fast keeping Kravtsov out of the NHL.
Aside from the Eichel trade, the main idea was to give our prospects room to develop with elite players dragging them along and improving them, as opposed to blocking them from opportunities.
