Rumor: Rantanen Extension is Close???

The 10M argument holds literally zero weight because the cap hasn't allowed for it. People used that argument all the time, then Florida wins with a 10M player and all of a sudden the goal posts move.

You need multiple stars to win. You need depth to win. You can't pick one over the other.

Exactly. Percentage of the cap is probably better measurement.

He's gonna make 12M+ so I wrote 10 just to counter that.

I'm ok with using that, too. Also let's not forget that Mack with his 12.6M exists so it's not an Ovi situation.

I know I've often complained about Bednar not moving Mikko to the second line to boost it. I certainly don't think that should happen now with JD on the shelf. But would it be the end of the world to have Girard and Manson take some more shifts with the top unit and see if Makar can help Mitts spark more out of the second line? Or naw?

Not even remotely what I typed. A team with those two on the third line, but keeping Mittlestadt, Drouin, Colton, and Girard (plus getting a goalie that deserves $5M+) - especially after Makar gets his new contract - very well may be.

Sorry, it could maybe win a cup. I just don't see it.
