Not sure if it's been brought up but any way we can get rid of Hunt to sign Motte? Motte is the bottom 6 player this team needs and if Hunt is around GG might be stupid enough to keep trying and giving him top 6 mins.

Unfortunately they seem to like Hunt. I think he will be around come training camp.

Hunt is making 762k, not a big cap hit. They like him as bottom six option. Unsure they go that route

If getting rid of his contract was truly a solution to clearing up space for Motte then the whole "he's a good bottom six option" logic goes out the window because Motte is a way better option. If we need more space than what Hunt would give us then I guess it makes sense because you can plug in Hunt, even though I hate him, at a very cheap cap hit

I disagree. All it does is lengthen the lineup. Id rather keep Laf where he is comfortable rather than make him a RW. He has plenty of time to be “the guy”

And the playoff success cannot be forgotten. We’ve waited 3 years for Chytil to finally do something and he did, but he did it with Laf. I’m not breaking that up, or Zib and Kreider for that matter

And again, I bring this up all the time…it may be wise to keep Lafs production down anyway with his looming raise on the horizon. They have other players who can be top 6

These are the 3 pairs that should stay together imo, and figure out the RWs

Zib Kreider
Trocheck Panarin
Chytil Laf

The RWs for them are Kakko, Kravtsov and Blais, who goes where is up for debate. Possibly Cuylle included, with Blais and Goodrow on line 4. But regardless, that’s 3 very good deep scoring lines.

I see your points, but just rather get Laf going this year. Big minutes for him will be key. If he plays with chytl all year on the 3rd line he is not cracking 40 points and this team will struggle to make the playoffs. Kreider isnt scoring 50 again this year. Some of his goal share has to go to laf, kakko etc

This is Kakko’s year. F the vaccine. I’m done for today.

You never let me down.

A possible roster scenario and the deadline cap implications:

Are we that concerned with losing hunt? Sign motte waive hunt and bury his cap, it's that simple

Not sure what Gallant sees in him.

Are you able to make transactions like that? I thought there was a limit

Not the same dollars

Cuylle is 800k, he cciuld make the team and replace Hunt

Really the only way to bring Motte in is to get rid of Reaves and his 1.75 mil hit

I don’t think they are doing anything else this off-season

Othmann and Cuylle will get long looks in camp that’s for sure

Not sure what Gallant sees in him.

When you think about it though, Hunt is the perfect 13th forward.

You don’t want your 13th forward to play a lot and you want him to be cheap. He’s basically as cheap as it gets in the league these days.

You don’t want a guy getting scratched every night who needs to play and develop.

Really what they should do is split up the games Reaves and Hunt play 12/13th forwards.

I love Reaves, but he played too much last year.

Not sure. They talk about "paper transactions" all the time, but I don't know the specifics of the CBA on that.
