Oh he has to be gone but those kinds of numbers would really not hamper the team much at allEven if it is $3m, this guy can't be trusted and he's paid way too much to justify the risk.
Yes. If he can't though... that cap hit....Can we trade him while he's on the program? I really think someone would take him for free. The reward is so high if he can turn it around.
He can’t be here but Vegas would probably play Cap hit shenanigans on that riskYes. If he can't though... that cap hit....
And in Vegas he'd be sure to relapse for a free get out jail free card.He can’t be here but Vegas would probably play Cap hit shenanigans on that risk
Yep but if they got one playoff run out of him they’d be all over it with the freebie get out of it later when he fails againAnd in Vegas he'd be sure to relapse for a free get out jail free card.
Yes... Essentially he will miss in the realm of 30/180 days at this point... so they have to leave ~5.1m in space for Nuke to come back.In Michael Scott terms, can someone explain this to me like I’m 5 years old. But to guess, does that mean depending on when Nichushkin comes back, there’s needs to be a certain amount of space available depending how much time is left in the season?
Now we're talkingStrip it down retool around MacKinnon and Makar.

Even if we retooled and traded anyone with a semblance of value, aka Manson, G, Lehky, Rants, LOC, and Colton we'd be left with:Dont have our first next year
Actually I guess if they did go full scorched Earth we'd probably finish bottom 10.

This is the real problem.This is how cup windows close. Not with a bang but with a whimper.
Can't see Avs win a Rantanen trade but you can't pay him $12M/year for the next 7-8 years. Then you ruin the next cup window as well.
not really, cap space is very valuableThis is the real problem.
Even if we retooled and traded anyone with a semblance of value, aka Manson, G, Lehky, Rants, LOC, and Colton we'd be left with:
Drouin - Mackinnon
Mittlestadt - Nuke
Wood
Toews - Makar
Walker*
With that base alone we'd still probably finish outside the bottom 10 range.
So now we need to find out about the buyout stuff. If we have grounds to terminate without penalty. Cause it sounds like we can trade him. But honestly who in the hell knows the market around a great player but with Evander Kane-esque baggage.Yes... Essentially he will miss in the realm of 30/180 days at this point... so they have to leave ~5.1m in space for Nuke to come back.
