He went to the boards just as much as any other player on the team for puck retrieval. And defensively responsible.
I'm ok with moving on but not if the price was only 2 million.

No because we'll exceed the bonus cushion.

I don't think Kakko's prime is gonna line up with him, we should get out in front of things and trade him for a monster package.
If you assume our top 9 wingers are Panarin, Buch, CK, KK, Laf and Kravtsov, it's not surprising that Fast might be looking to play elsewhere, especially when you potentially through Chytil in the mix as well.
The Canes should be playing meaningful playoff hockey throughout that deal so it makes a lot of sense from Fast's POV he thinks that he's a chance to be a contributor on those teams

I will gladly take Laf on his ELC over fast. Which will be the case. Since the guy is for sure already in the top six

That fact that he was choosing between the Rangers and Canes indicates there was an offer on the table.

Bro, look around you. In other news, Morgan Barron is gonna center the 3rd line next year.

I feel like people are ignoring your post so they can bitch more this week.

I said top 9, but I guess because if he's going to play, it would make sense that it be in a offense orientated role

I'm also still wondering what we're doing with this cap space that we would have gotten next year anyway if we just let Hank and Staal ride.

If he turned down a mil more per year then he really didn’t want to play here.

So did Fast just want to leave?
Or was it the term? We maybe wouldn’t go to 3 years.
Obviously there is some elite talent in those top 9 wingers but I hope CK and KK can really impose themselves in the corners with puck battles. Lafreniere probably will eventually sooner rather than later but probably not next year.

It really seems like that.
with Justin asshole Williams retiring I’m sure Fast sees his opportunity to take on his role of top 9 vet role.

Okay. Same applies. Why are we assuming he is in the top nine

That seems pretty comfortably earmarked for a 2C, be that Strome or a trade option.
This shocks me. If the Rangers did indeed make an offer, it's mind blowing he didn't take it. Thought he was a heart and soul type player for this team.
I know we have an embarrassment of riches at wing but damn, he'll be missed

Players electing arbitration is a good thing. They will be here next year unless we trade them. No offer sheets to worry about. Most if not all will be settled with a last minute contract agreement before going in front of the arbitrator.
