GDT: 3/28/25 7:30 Knights @ Hawks CHSN

5.5 sounds like a lot, but it kind of isn’t anymore. The cap two years from now is what, 105 million, and only increasing?

5.5 is the new 3 million. If he wants like 6 years, then that’s the sticking point for me. But I’d overpay in dollars just because it’s not a guarantee they’ll be able to acquire multiple forwards this offseason.
Yeah if the cap is going to climb like crazy I'm not concerned about AAV at all on short term deals.

Being stuck with a overpaid 4th liner for 5 years would be f***ing lame though. I'd rather avoid that worst case scenario.
 
And Hawks will regret it

He is never going to replicate this year and should have been traded
ya, I agree he should have been traded and yes I agree he should not be signed to a bad contract...my guess is the hawks will try and get him to take a discount of higher AAV and shorter term to stay with the rebuilding core...will see if Donato agrees or wants more term and $$.

From what I have read his wife is super happy in Chicago so who knows...well see.
 
Lev making great plays

Kaiser with a great game

EDM has been solid

Vlasic is Vlasic. Young D have been up to snuff. Only 18 shots against these guys so far is no joke
 
Foligno has to be gone after this season right?

His ‘leadership in the room’
Isn’t doing anything and he’s not valuable on the ice.
