My point was just, at the end of the day you can’t stay away from all contracts and ice a competitive team. Look at Boston, Chicago, LAK, Washington and so forth.
For me Kreider’s contract term don’t matter. The only relevant question is if Kreider will play at this level for like 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 more years? Blake Wheeler is setting new personal records every day. He is 33. Others fall off a cliff when they are 28. 2-4 and he should be moved ever if he would take 5m per for 5 years, 5-7 years and I think he should be kept even if it takes 6-7m per for 6-7 years unless we get some insane offer. Which is it?
MIN is a team I'd be looking to ripoff ASAP. Try and pry away their first rounder and then pray it ends up being a lottery pick.It would be really dumb if Minnesota is a buyer at the deadline. Dumba and Koviu are done for the season. They have a barren prospect pool.
They should sell and trade Eric Staal to recoup some picks and a prospect. And if they make the playoffs at that point, sure whatever, they will lose in the 1st round like they always do. But really dumb if they spend assets for smoeone like Hayes
what are we giving them?Lets get Cally and make sure get Tbays 1st and 2nd...........

I have zero interest in Callahan. You want a vet bring back Boyle who will be much cheaper next year.
Zucc for their 1st and 2nd? I dont know how that makes the value of the Mac/Miller trade look when it is all said and done
We deserve more for helping them sign PointGiving them nothing we are taking that crap contact so they can sign Point,etc.............they are giving us the pick to do so
Is something around Kreider for Nylander that crazy?
Nylander hasn’t been lighting the world on fire since returning and earns approx what Kreider will earn on his next deal.
Kreider earns significantly less now which will help w/the Marner squeeze this summer and Kreider arguably gives the Leafs a better shot to win this year and next.
NYR get that “foundational piece.”

hate to say it but you want to tank ? you want a rebuild, you move 30.
unpopular for sure but he can always return to retire a ny ranger
he AINT getting a cup with us. but he might with another team....
if you want a true rebuild, you wait for a contender to have their #1 go down and you move hank.
i can promise you this, if the bolts lost vasilevskiy for the season, thats a deal made in heaven.

Why would any team want that?I think they could trade their first with the condition that it goes to a second if they win the Cup, no?
That's not what he said.Because, if they win the cup, it's the worst possible pick in the first round. Odds are, the 2020 would be a higher pick.
A high probability of getting a first round pick? You're asking why a team might want that?Why would any team want that?
