This is why Im so adamant about selling high on him and then making a move to get someone who may be more of a traditional 3C.

but Chytil is a bargain right now at 2.2 million, who could this perfect traditional 3C be that fits into that salary slot

we probably shouldn't forget about Bobby Trivigno at some point too

I know he didnt light it up at Hartford when he got there, but he's got some expectations

yeah I just saw, he's likely to end up at Hartford instead of back to junior, that's good thing

oh, lol, it was pointed out that he has a late september birthday and it's given him the rare benefit of his draft year to be able to go to Hartford this season instead of going back to juniors, unless the Ranger prefer that, it's up to the Rangers

Like Othmann doesn't have this, it's either the Rangers or juniors for him, no hartford option

Id rather let him keep playing in juniors. No reason to rush him, especially with Cuylle likely to battle for a spot on the main roster.

I think it's always better when the Rangers can control a guy's development, but ultimately it will be their decision

I could see them maybe letting him play 6-7 games and then sending him to juniors.

Pretty fair contract.

In a state of shock to see the Sens spend money.

Nice contract.
Sens spending $$$ since Melnyk died. Good to see them wanting to stop sucking.

It’s so funny how upset Buffalo fans get when you trade Reaves to them on the arm chair thing

I trade him there like twice a day

Do you think they work on extensions now like all these other teams are doing? It really seems to be going that way with the money in the NHL. Pay them and keep them when they’re just finishing up with their ELC. Miller and Laf maybe a wise decision. Especially Miller.

$52m committed to someone with 31 career goals seems a bit premature

That is way too much money for 2 guys that really havent proven much.

Personally, I think Drury should work both of them to bridge deals. Give them both 3m for 1yr.

Take it to the 2024 off-season for the long extension when its expected for the cap to go up by a significant number. Its also the year Trouba's contract becomes a NTC.

Keeping the number as low as possible for just the 1 year, gives us the chance to possibly negotiate an extension with Patrick Kane IF we should go after him at the deadline and we decide to keep him for the duration of Panarin's contract.

And when they both explode, which I believe they both will, it will look a steal.

I'd say Miller has proven more than Laf at this point. Laf showed a lot in the playoffs, however, if I were asked right now who has had more of an impact, hands down Miller is earning a new contract.

I agree, however, does his contract merit a larger extension then what Lindgren got, for example?

Right now. Dunno. But maybe ongoing, as we all know Lindgren's style of play will ultimately result in his limbs falling off mid-game sooner than later.

I really dont have a single concern about Lafreniere other than can he play the right side

I think he's exploding in year 3
