you believe Mika is not gonna find it?
Mika will bounce back.
Getting back in the groove is not always snap yr fingers simple, but obv, main reason he is in this funk is b'c he had covid issues pre season which are STILL making impact since he missed camp and has obv shown lots of rust.
i think Zib can bounce back but they can for both Eichel and Zib under the cap if they want too
Sorry but if they want to fit both under the cap they CAN'T.
Even if you squeeze $ here and there, you are asking for trouble. Look at the top heavy leafs.
We are happy to keep Panarin and his 10+.
Kreider is not a prob at 6+.
Trouba in hindsight should have been handled dif so we'd have gotten him for a bit less and no NMC, but what's done is done. We have realistically 3+ years before it is plausible he can be moved.
We MUST hold all our bluest chip elcs. No trading Krav, etc.
We can't go another big salary until we move Trouba AND are sure some of that 8m is allocated for whatev we need for salary increases is not picked up by what we recover from expiring salaries.
If ya wanna create space for a star, gotta go one further.
Gotta trade Buch, Strome, etc on top of Zib
And, gotta get futures in return
