Right, but he still is an RFA next year (I think). Of course, you could simply not qualify him after next year, but...

Could always trade his rights

Most likely he has a decent enough season to get a 4.5 mil per contract or he plays his way out of here.

I don't see a scenario where he wins the Vezina and gets 6-7 mil

that was my point who trades for his rights knowing they have to qualify him at a minimum of 4 ish million if he has a down year?

I read on TBN Larry Quinn! and Paladino set to take the stand in the school board trial tomorrow. That's gonna be better than A Few Good Men.

Then he just doesn't get qualified.

I guess I don't see the issue. If he doesn't play well they have to get someone and that someone will probably cost money.

Really with Petersen could have been groomed

Last blog how is Kane a top tier player ?

Tier 1 ..
Ovechkin, Benn, Hall, Pacioretty

Tier 2 ..
Landeskog , Parise , Zetterberg, Chris Kreider , James Neal

Tier 3 ..
Riemsdyk , Kane , Daniel Sedin

How is Pacioretty Tier 1?

If James Neal is tier two so is Kane.

Landeskog has no business in tier two or even three for that matter

Then he just doesn't get qualified.

Yes because points are what Foligmo brings, and grinder intangibles are what Grigorenko does. Grigo is a menacing figure on the forecheck.

foligno is a 3rd line player, nothing more

gringo is second line talent that was playing on the 3rd line, a role you can't expect him to excel at

At least there's someone who does.
