His back can go at any time. He will need his back in order to continue to take the punishment. And not giving him a NTC is a nice thought, but maybe he wants one? Trading him in two years might also be wishful thinking. If they kept Kunitz as long as they did without trading him, or Dupuis before his issues, or Fleury, they'll keep Horny too. This organization either keeps you or lets you go. They don't keep you today, and trade you away in a couple.
Life will go on without #72. I know it seems impossible, but it's true.
Well, that is a crazy asset to let just walk. Not to mention any of our players could suffer a career injury.
It is also makes no sense for a contending team that can afford Hornqvist to let him walk. Daley, Bonino, even Niskanen all make sense. Hornqvist is going to cost at most 1.5 mil more. Lock him up. Hopefully win one more cup and deal with the repercussions.
If you're going to question Hornqvist's health over the contract you better be asking those same questions about Malkin.
