And maybe the Rangers weren’t an option because they did not make an effort to even offer a contract to even consider.
Which would also be frustrating...
Not end of the world stuff, but somewhat disturbing given our needs
I don’t know how they are viewing their roster then.. because who is the 24 year old center that can PK and is over 50% on the dot in their career?I would guess they probably didn't based on how they view their roster. With a tighter budget, I'll venture a guess they didn't necessarily see him being a significant enough improvement over what they had/wanted to take a look at with their forwards.
I know this might be stupid thinking I would have thought some of the free agents would have came here to have the chance to play with the 1st overall pick.

I forgot the part where Chicago is a much more viable place for the circumstances at hand...

Exactly, how many times have we projected lineups for this season where it looks like this:
Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Panarin-2C (Strome)-Kakko
Lafreniere-Chytil-Kravtsov/Gauthier
Lemiuex-Howden-Gauthier/Kravtsov
Add in Barron. Potentially someone like Gettinger as well. On top of that, they gluttony of UDFA college players signed. Now add in the AAAA players they added. This is not a destination for guys looking to crack a roster. They know immediately if one of these kids is on par with them, the kid will play. The AAAA guys are just looking for a deal in North America with all the European leagues underway.
Fast knows he might not have a spot on the roster in one year and went somewhere he could win before potentially being taken by Seattle.
I don't think we're going to be making another forward signing. It's either a trade to address the center position or nothing. Maybe a LD trade, but we've got a ton of kids for that too.
yeah...8.8 per for ages 31-38. that has potential to be a very unpleasant contract or one that is "acceptable" if pietrangelo plays very well as he ages.Wow 8.8 x 7 for petro. More than I taught he get
