Brooks has had the bug up his ass concerning Hayes for a year, this was inevitable.

But the standout items for me were:

Listen, we’re not talking about Jean Ratelle here. Nor Walter Tkaczuk. Objectively, if Kevin Hayes is your second-best player (behind Mika Zibanejad), you’re probably not contending for a championship.

And

When the Rangers checked in a couple of weeks ago, the number may have been as high as seven years at $7M per.

Speaking only for myself, I am still not comfortable going 7x7, or even 7x5, including a NMC, for Hayes.

The terms of the deal have always made me feel uneasy. They'd make feel uneasy if the Rangers decided to resign Hayes this offseason --- thus having their cake and eating it too.

Larry just kind of brushes past the whole dollars and terms aspect of this story because it doesn't really fit with the narrative he's wanted to portray. And frankly, the more time most people have to think about the dollars and terms, the more likely a feeling of uneasiness is likely to grow.

If you're just against rebuilding for whatever reason, that's your thing. Fine.

If you seriously think there's a path for this team to win soon, I disagree, but whatever.

But Brooks sits there and admits that a core where Kevin Hayes is one of your best isn't a winning core, and then tells me we should commit dollars and term to that core that he admits isn't winning anything.

Where does he think the more talented players come from? The Tooth Fairy?

Would anyone be surprised if Hayes regressed next year back to his old 40-50 point self? I wouldn't. Also, scoring has been up for just about everyone this season

He's been good but also playing for a contract... there is a decent amount of risk involved in signing him long term.

He's going to do that now in WPG when he drops down to Little's role of 16 mins a game including PP time.

Actually, Nylander would make sense from the Brassard for Zibanejad vein. I’d just rather re-sign him to a six-year, $42 million deal.

Not to mention the leadership qualities Kreider has (hard to say that for the rest). He'll also be great for our young Russian talent the next couple of years since he's fluent in Russian and was a huge help to Buch since his arrival.

Some serious wishcasting here that Claesson is anything other than waiver wire fodder. And I like Claesson!

This is by far the most over-blown thing on here. I love that Kreider always gets thrown around as an attractive leader of Russians.

Unfortunately, that's the kind of contradictions we see a lot of right now.

There are times, it's really hard to figure out what it is that some people want. The nearest I can figure is that it's not something specific, so much they want what they either can't have, or never want what it is they actually do have.

Part of me wishes Hank would go somewhere and win, but another part of me literally can't handle him in another sweater. I love that he loves it here.

Same with me, but man would I would do to see him lift the cup, I wish he would request the trade so we could root him on.
