Well if you want to deal with the facts, you might want to add that when Chabot gets to 10M for his UFA years in 24-25, he has a limited NTC and Melnyk can ship him out.
He definitely can ship him out, your original post stated that we would not extend players into their UFA years and trade them for magic beans which is not true
Again feel free to attack Melnyk for things he has done but not for a potential future when recent transactions show otherwise
I brought up white because going into this past season the biggest worry was being able to resign white and chabot and we ended up resigning both. White has not turned out to what we expected/hoped but going into the season he was being looked at as a top 6 shutdown center and a must keep piece.
Laf when needing an extension would probably be looking in the chabot range if not more but again thats expecting linear growth from him, no sophomore slump etc etc
As for the limited NTC how is that a bad thing. As a team it makes no sense to be handcuffed by a full NTC or NMC if you dont have to be. Additionally players on full NTC's or NMC's also get moved so that really means very little besides giving players more power and making it harder to manage the team
Jumping down the rabbit hole when recent views show otherwise is honestly a waste. You have every right to there is no point to it. If we end up f***ing up brady's extension i will riot with you and attack everyone. Until then ...
