Also, as soon as you buy him out you lose the potential for LTIR in the future,.
I'm still not sure what management should do in order to become cup-competitive as quickly as they hope.
Perhaps they should use an asset to get out of the Boeser deal with no retention but just wait a year on Myers and OEL, not hoping that OEL will pick up an injury that will lead to retirement by LTIR, but ... hoping. If they get very lucky they'll be without Boeser, Myers, and OEL in 24/25, having lost only the futures asset in the Boeser deal.
Despite what some seem to think, I don't believe they can get out from Myers without giving something up, and I don't think that it's worth it with only one year left on the deal.
But I apologize for going off topic. I like Hirose.
