Didn't we get enough of this at the trade deadline?
We aren't trading for Kane. The last thing we need is another high priced winger.
correct, except this currently applies to just about any vet, not just a W
hfb largely not checking cf and has no idea how crazy the cap crunch is gonna be until Trouba and then Panarin are dealt/not extended at same $
ranger$ always get their guy and make it work under cap restrictions. Personally think they should go for it.
NY usually gets its guy, check, but esp pre cap.
Cap, not so much
Restrictions tighter than ever, and roster, plus so many w/trade protection clauses, does not make going around cap doable, esp in any signif way
Totally should NOT go for it.
Should max window by keeping young core of roster, not trading it, and trade vets for more youth to = cap compliant and sustain longer window
NY can’t afford Kane, even with retention. They need a 2C. Whatever cap space they have will go towards re-signing their guys + a 2C. Trading Kakko for someone who’s a year away from being an UFA is absolutely stupid.
This^.
I liked the cheap upside in Barron, sorry to see him go, but appears Jets insisted. I think we are covered on 2C w/Copp + improving Chytil, who will click w/Vatrano and prob Gauthier, although the immediate add here should be the now available Krav.
