Signing Lindy for 3 years would be the good decision we made with Girardi. I don't think he'll take 3, but he's not "bought out after two seasons" worn out just yet.
I wouldn't mind a move if we get a LD1 without it hurting too bad.
A 4yr deal makes sense for both sides. He won't take 3, and I'm starting to get skittish at 5.
I’d wager they settle on 4, even if the cap hit is a smidge higher then most will like……
Many think he’ll get moved, or want to move him… but what’s coming in on LD??? What are you replacing him with???
Jones likely replacing Gus next season due to cost, so that 1/3 spots going to a rookie.
He played well since his 2nd call up, but he also has absolutely no playoff experience and games. 0. You hope he’ll perform well, but that’s not a given.
Miller will stay exactly where he is. With Schneider on 2nd pair for the foreseeable future.
Not if you’re not bringing in a proven vet LD that you hope plays well with Fox and is proven/battle tested, it means likely breaking in a younger kid. Cheaper with high potential, but untested just the same….
I keep Lindy and try to move Trouba.
Younger, smaller cap hit, can play well w Fox or drop to 3rd pair R or L D with jones if the younger option emerges at some point….
Cap will be tight. Chytil still a injury concern and so is replacing Roslovic whether internally at start of season or via trade/UFA…
They could make a splash next TDL as well
