Despite the Kane contract and the cap rising I still doubt Rantanen's contract breaks 7M/yr.
Kane signed as a young UFA. Rantanen is an RFA. I hope we hit Rantanen with a 6x6.25M/yr contract extension this summer.
I agree with basically everything you said here about ROR.
On Risto I definitely don’t think he’s a #1 guy. But I think if he could go somewhere and be the 3rd best guy on the back end I think he’d really breakout. He has basically 0 help there in buffalo but he’s still a bit of a train wreck out there. But if he were to go somewhere like that has a set top 2/3guys or something like that where he could get a decent partner for the first time ever I think that’d do a lot for him.
One thing I wonder about the whole O’R thing: the original disagreement happened at a time when bridge contracts were still a thing (with little purpose, really). I wonder if O’R was one of the players who was out to help blow that up. I’m probably overthinking it.
Sure, I agree with that. He's definitely got talent and I think he's clearly in over his head, but I get the feeling some still think he could be a #1 and I'm just not at all on board with that.
I think he absolutely had the potential to be #1 and I think he has the talent to play like one in spurts. But Buffalo 100% rushed him and gave him 0 help which in turn kinda ruined some of his development.
I'm just not seeing it, but I can't argue that he's in an absolutely rotten situation with zero help.
What a pointless "analysis". Love how the Avs are a very unlikely destination but teams that are worse or barely have cap space to land JT are hot contenders.

Would you expect anything different from a Canadian publication? The article IMO was a joke. I think the top contenders have to be like St Louis, San Jose, NYI, and maybe dark horses like Vancouver, Buffalo and maybe the Avs (that's more wishful thinking than anything) but there is no denying we are an appealing young team with lots of cap space.What a pointless "analysis".

Why are We still debatting Ror vs zadorov ?
Kanes contract will be massive failure. This guy is so unlikable every team wants to get rid of him after few seasons. There's reason for that.
GL getting rid of Kane and his 7 mil per year contract. Awful deal.
Why isn't Colorado here? He would fit us like a glove and we don't even have second line.
We should be all over Tavares if he becomes available.
