Take into account the spot that they’re in. They’ve received (Thomas) Chabot, $8 million, (Jake) Sanderson, $8 million. These two guys at $16 million on the left facet of your protection.
You now have to pay Jakob Chychrun, who by the best way, has performed higher hockey in Ottawa than he was in Arizona.

That’s not correct workforce steadiness.
And from a pure asset perspective, actually what, due to the best way Chychrun defends and performs, actually what the Sens ought to discover is attempting to maneuver Chabot.
