No. This rest of this year and 2 more is not "3 more years" but you're going to want to re-sign him during his last year (in which he'll want the moon to re-sign and difficult to trade) and not wait till his contract expires.
It's almost as if you think we can't read your previous post where you said "He's got this year and next and then is a UFA." You were wrong. When you're wrong the thing to do is learn from it and ideally say oops or apologize, not gaslight the person who told you that you're wrong.
Yeah those Golden Knights and Avalanche sure did poorly with their free agents. There's good deals and bad ones. Tavares signing was silly because the Leafs had Matthews and Kadri already in the fold. You currently have one top pairing defenseman and one 2nd pairing defenseman. It's not the same thing.
Vegas was built mainly through expansion draft (marsh, karlsson, theodore) or trades (stephenson, Hill, Eichel) their only big signing I recall is Pietrangelo who is a tier above most UFAs available
Sorry for the confusing wording in my post. I should have worded it by adding the bolded part as below:
I'll gladly take the slap on the wrist and fix myself a double vodka with mango juice, orange juice, strawberry syrup and ice as punishment.
Would not move Cowen for Savard but I would think about moving our 1st for him if we got a pick back. Colorados 2nd or your 3rd, so we still pick in the top 3 rounds and you move up 30-40 spots
Centers is the biggest thing. We had a deep defensive group, but no elite defenseman. We have a deep wing group, but no elite wingers. The only elite prospect we have is Wolf.
I think he needs a permanent move to the wing. He doesn't have the makeup to play C. He's skilled though and could be a solid top 6 wing.
TIL a sophomore slump - any sophomore slump - means you're a bust.
Most of us were pretty sure he was going to be a playmaking winger not long after he was drafted. I was referring to him early on as the heir apparent to Voracek, before Voracek got his career ended.
Yeah, that makes more sense. I think Sillinger is a C, Fantilli is a C, maybe Voronkov. Johnson just isn't.Most of us were pretty sure he was going to be a playmaking winger not long after he was drafted. I was referring to him early on as the heir apparent to Voracek, before Voracek got his career ended.
Good luck with that! I’ve seen a ton of Cowen with the Knights this year and I, uh, don’t agree.
His work away from the puck is the thing I look at to project whether a player will be a C. He's riding a pretty high PDO and is deployed heavily Ozone. Haven't seen enough to make that call yet.Oh, there's no "maybe" with Voronkov.The Siberian Line has been amazing.
