Neither Necas nor Mikko wanted to be here. As straight forward as the FA and salary cap system is, there's not a lot of ways to escape from a deal you failed to vet ahead of time.
Guentzel and Mikko should have both been vetted for long term deals before they were brought in.
That being said, there are bigger problems facing this team today, and continuing to dwell on yesterday's mistakes don't help anyone or anything.
