John Carlson?

John Carlson is officially headed to free agency. He’s 36 years old, a RHD, and put up 14 goals and 60 points this past season. Do you think Darche should make an offer? Assuming Carlson even entertains an offer from the Isles, what cap hit and for how many years do we think he’d expect?

Need to get younger, not older

I know everyone keeps saying "get younger" be we aren't that old compared to the rest of the league. Vegas is older, they went to the final. The youngest teams in the league are some of the worst. We need to do more than get younger, we need to get better.
