Maybe, but probably not.

This is the happiest we will see young Yager, until Sullivan destroys his will.
Well, Sullivan is looking for a 4th liner.

We do have some nice young players ready to go but for some reason this management and coaching staff refuse to allow it! I’ll never understand fully.
I get it, still trying to compete, and St. Louis paid a second to get rid of Hayes, then the signing Grzelcyk (had to look up how to spell his name 3 times trying to type that). Those are two key spots to add fresh legs. At least Beauvillier and Lizotte are on the younger side, but again, two more spots taken up by players that are already known ceilings.

Yes, $950,000 is the max he can receive, along with a max AHL salary of $82,500.
Signing bonus is a max of 10% of base salary ($95,000 max)
And then you can max out four Type A bonuses, usually related to a min of games played, a min # of points, etc... Those can be hit to max of $250,000 each up to a maximum of $1,000,000 total. Additionally, there is a second set of bonuses, usually related to performance vs league, trophy voting, etc... If someone were to run the gauntlet on league performance awards or trophy wins/voting like Ovechkin or Crosby, you can now earn a max total of $2,500,000 on those Type B bonuses.
Nice thing of course is it doesn't affect that ELC cap hit unless you hit those bonuses. Sid's ELC and cat hit was $850,000, but he obviously hit all of his bonuses and actual AAV/ CH was 3.7 Mil, I believe.
Don't know what Yagers bonus structure is, though.

Actually would make sense. Couple of 14th picks, yager is from the prairies so unlikely to force himself out of winnipeg.I could see on my radar a Rutger Mcgroaty for Brayden Yager deal happening

He’s going to be probably a three year project. One full season in the WHL this year and a full season of the AHL next year. We’ll see where he is at from there. He has somethings to work on.

Would be Dubas' 2nd good move in PIT if he could pull it off.
Oktoberfest in 2017 they were selling shots of it for 1 Euro. I will never touch the stuff again.Most of us also had a pit stop here

Yeah he needs to learn how to play with more juice and sticktoitiveness, like a strong professional game like Acciari. Until he learns that he will get 3-5 mins a game on the 4th line with occasional healthy scratches for weeks at a time.
It's a method Mike Sullivan has had success with. What success you ask? Destroying the will of young prospects.
