Same thing applies to Trouba since Winnipeg didn't give anyone rights to negotiate an extension and certainly applies to Hayes at the trade deadline.

But no one knew that when he signed the deal. Shattenkirk? That was a sweat heart deal. Eberle? All these are different, but not every player looks for the absolute max.

You'd be shocked how many people actually believe that "never hurts to ask" thing though. Like, yeah your high school math question never hurts to ask. But there are plenty of things in negotiations that hurt to ask and some people just really don't get that.
Do you have a meet and greet or autograph signing set up anytime soon? I hear thats the best way to keep from being traded.

Shatty was 100% a sweat heart deal. Again though, I think he really regrets that. He got injured shortly after and who knows if he will be his old self, his next contract might be far less than what he could have gotten if he signed long term somewhere else.
We good, dude.

I always saw best case there as getting a Grabner-esque return for him

Buffalo should just trade their first rounder for CK and Vesey. Makes them a playoff team unless their goaltending really goes south. Florida and buffalo are two organizations that desperately need to make playoffs.
Problem is realistically he probably wouldn’t sign in most of these places (arizona, Edmonton, buffalo) but I guess u never know
I would hope/pray we would just keep Kreider.
That would be SEVERE underpayment.
We could do better just by waiting until the deadline

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
I'm reminded of a client I worked with ten years ago. We're in a meeting and we're putting together a check list of all the cool environmentally friendly points we want to tout about a project and how we're really going to push this narrative to national media. At one point someone confirms that we've secured Al Gore for the grand opening ceremony and we discuss how he's going to talk about the ecological benefits as part of his speech. Sure enough, this one person raises her hand and asks why Al Gore is speaking about that particular subject.
You could almost feel the air go out of the room as everyone stopped and looked at her. After what felt like an eternity of silence, someone finally laid it out for her. Still remember like it was yesterday.
Point being, yes, sometimes it does indeed hurt to ask.

You asked for guys that accepted less than max deals, I gave you three players. Maybe Kreider would take less to stay, maybe he won't. Who knows.
I don’t hate vesey as much as most on here do but you’re right. A first or second rounder (in a pretty good draft or 2020 draft) would be a tremendous deal for us
