Can someone refresh my cba memory. If a deal were to be made with Trouba and we agree with him on an extension, are we able to do an 8 year extension or only a 7 year deal? For example, we acquire him July 1, are we eligible for 8 year extension the next day?
Yes it’s true. I think Stone signed 8 years the day he was traded to VGK. Thank you.I believe so, yes
once the player is your property you can offer them the max years
Bottom line. Would Trouba be our best dman?I think people are overrating Trouba if we are being honest.
Problem is. Which LD is available that fits our needs and is the right age?
And do we want to pay Vats?

If we are not making a move for a ld this offseason, it is possible that the young guys prove we don't need to make a move for a ld at all.Time is on your side you use it. We don’t need to do this this offseason.
Unless he bumps his head again next season we should pay him.
He's, 25 years old, put up 50 points, and averaged 2:30 minutes of PK per game.I think people are overrating Trouba if we are being honest.

I think Vats is a perfectly fine 2nd pair Dman, as is Severson but the problem is not only do we need one to be on the top pair right now, we need them to be our #1 Dman. I'd be OK with one being on the top pair if we had a legit #1. There really isn't a #1 LHD that I see being available.I am not the biggest Vats fan. To be fair, I think he is being asked to play above his limit. He is not particularly great at anything and gets caught trying to do too much. If they could trade him and 2/3 and/or prospect for Trouba, I would make that trade. Plus, Trouba fits our core trajectory better. That 1.5-2year age difference comes into play here, especially if people think we are 1/2 years away.
Ya, either Vats or Sev's would be OK on the top pair with a legit #1.I think Vats is a perfectly fine 2nd pair Dman, as is Severson but the problem is not only do we need one to be on the top pair right now, we need them to be our #1 Dman.
