Jesus, I would understand 4 with an extension in place but 4 for 1 year is actually too much.
Oh fuck that shit especially since we’d have to give him a fat contract and who knows if he’d even want to stay
2025 1st with maybe top 10 protection 2 of Kulich, Rosen, Ostlund, Savoie
1 of Krebs, Jokiharju, Johnson, Kisakov etc
And all that for 1 year of dude going straight to UFA, with all the leverage in contract negotiation (you paid all these, now pay me 8x10m or you lose everything)
Yeah, cannot see this happening
There are a few players I’d make that deal for; he ain’t on the list.
This is what happens when you tip your hand, and overpay for 4th line players.
GMKA is drenched in desperation.
Kind of feels like nobody in the NHL respects GMKA, so everybody tries to rip him off rather than negotiating in good faith. He’s not part of their little club.
Good for GMKA, not doing bad trades that will hurt this team down the road even more. He might get fired, but I respect that he won’t hurt this team to save his job.
That ask is stupid, higher than any trade in recent memory for a lesser player. Maybe if we had a contract in hand, but why would any gm pay that for essentially a rental.
