Confirmed with Link: Sammy Blais Extended

[n8]

Kupari may not be any good and nobody reputable even reported that was an offer.

Kupari may not be any good. Kupari may be good. He's young, gives us a backup plan for Chytil but he's also a valuable asset. I don't know too much about the kid but with regards to asset management, two years of Blais fully healthy make the Buchnevich deal stink more is really my point. I thought we'd have him for 4 years.

how is Kupari a backup plan for Chytil when he's 6 months younger and has done significantly less at the NHL level?
