Danault had only 4 fewer points than Strome in the last two seasons at even strength. If we believe someone is ready to take Strome's PP spot, then I think Danault can replace Strome's offense without much issue.

Change is good.
If you can make Mika and Danault work at $13-14MM combined, preferably with one or both getting less than max term, it's very compelling.
If you're talking more like $17MM combined with max term for both (bringing both well into their 30s), that's a lot less interesting.

I'm not sure that this is possible for Vegas with their cap issues but it seemed to me that someone posted a three way deal that may have made the most sense, especially if Buffalo's fans are now down to a deal of like, expecting Rossi, Boldy, Fiala and a first.
NYR out: Zibanejad, Strome, 2022 1st (lottery protected), Z. Jones
NYR in: Eichel
Vegas out: Krebs, 2022 1st
Vegas in: Zibanejad
Buffalo out: Eichel
Buffalo in: Strome, 2022 1st (NYR), Z. Jones, Krebs, 2022 1st (LVK)
Something like that.
Of course if the plan is to have Zibanejad and Eichel then this plan is moot, but if the plan is to avoid the contract decision on Zibanejad, reset your age clock at center, and keep most of your young prospects, this would fit the bill.

All future acquisition proposals should include which of the kids the proponent wants to lose to make cap room for their guy in the coming years.

A big assumption that MZ would waive his no trade clause to accept a trade to Vegas.

A contending team with a baller atmosphere where he can DJ his balls off after they win?
I don't see how he wouldnt' want to go there lmao.
I think he played with Lekhonen and Gallagher in the playoffs. Tatar was scratched. The line was a shut down line and played against the other teams toplines.

In other news, Washington’s 3rd string ECHL goalie was put on waivers the other day. You think he’d be a good fit?

The "Mika wants 10 a year" is a opening shot across the bow. I wouldn't expect his agent to say anything less. This isn't and shouldn't be a one sided negotiation like the Rangers don't have a ton to offer his client that other cities won't be able to.

Yea he's played on his LW with Rantanen at RW for the last four years.

He’s taken 21 more faceoffs than Mackinnon has lost over the past 3 years
