I love how this is said with such certainty and conviction. I wonder what that stems from when we know this is a kid that could not grab an NHL spot through two different coaches and two different GMs. He has next to zero NHL experience at this level. Yet we have some that would mortgage their home betting that this kid will be some great producer let alone surpass our other kids who have made the team and have been here.
Bennett was their 2nd line center. Lundell, who could potentially replace him in that spot, was the 3rd line center.
Man he is just the most aesthetically pleasing player in the history of the game. You can tell just by a pic of him on the ice that he’s a tremendous player. His beautiful locs flowing behind him in the wind are just the icing on the cake.
ha perfrect so sign him for cheaper than that and more money to bring back Motte and figure everything else out! just feels like the realistic scenario for 2C is someone like him who is short term right now
I'm in the camp he'll take one of those vet 'already made $80+M, lets win a cup' deals
Obviously I am only guessing and not certain, but I do believe Kravtsov will have more success than Kakko next season. I don't really care about not having grabbed an NHL spot when the criteria for making and staying on the roster was driven by draft position. If Kakko was picked 9 instead of 2, Kravtsov would have already had a spot a while ago.
Especially someone like Kane. We can talk about the person, but he's been in Chicago and won 3 cups. He'll get to pick where he goes.
It probably makes more sense to send him to Hartford, burying what you can, and try to trade him again next offseason with only 1 year left on the deal.
If Kane says he will only go to the Rangers, that drops the price considerably. One year rental? Not a bad idea with big contracts coming up next year.
Which one? There are plenty that fit that description.
