Twins are 74 and 76 in scoring, this should have been a no brainier to scale them back and bring in younger top line players. They should have been negotiated at the end of the year instead of BIINDLY handed an extension and raise. We will be stuck with those stupid contracts for 4 more years.

Time to move Burrows out , Hansen does his job at half the rate. Time to move Higgins and bring a real 2 nd liner in.

I guess you have to look at their current contracts as deferred payments from previous "hometown contracts". They are just getting the remuneration they deserved from earlier in their careers.

I have no doubt that had something to do with it but it's horrible management to throw out good contracts for past deeds.

Definitely the term was too long. They will probably "retire" in 2 seasons and move back to Sweden.
