Yup. Think like Yzerman; team first mentality. Simple business move. Once Kuch gets locked up long term, and where it doesn't financially handcuff the team, I wish him all the luck to stock his shelves with hardware (and net us 3 cups in the next 6, 7, 8 years).
For the record, I really don't care either way. It would be cool to see him set the league on fire over the next few weeks; lock up the Rocket, Art Ross, even Conn Smyth en route to hoisting Lord Stanley... He'll look good in Ranger blue or with a Golden Knight on his chest after he doesn't resign, takes his one year arbitration, and jets off to a big market, netting well over $10-11M/per
