QUESTION OF THE DAY — What Do YOU Think Of The Matt Grzelyck PTO? Also, Would YOU Be Willing To Part Ways With Prospects Like Anton Frondell & Artyom Levshunov To Acquire Kirill Kaprisov?
Safe signing in case Murphy goes down or have him help yound d-men and not trading for kaprizov unless I kno hee signing long term even then 50/50 on him
Also love Knight deal good for both sides it's up when he's 28 and we'll know then if he's da guy or not
I’d of course love to have kaprizov but if you gotta give up 3/4 pieces it defeats the whole purpose of the rebuild, if u can trade Moore Levshunov 26’ protected and 27 first thats the highest price I’d be willing to pay anymore then that isn’t worth it if kaprizov was 26 sure but he’s what almost 30? No shot
I'd offer Korchinski, maybe a 2nd tier player like Isaac and 2 first round picks on the premise that Kaprizov signs with chicago long term 4-6 years
As having NTC why would he accept a trade where the team he is going to is stripped?
If i was in his spot i would tell Minnesota i will wait til free agency to join Chicago unless it is for a first top 15 protected or less to accept a trade. So Minnesota keeps him for half a season and get nothing or would they trade him for a protected first and nothing else?
A NTC completely takes all leverage away from the team. As a GM i would never do one for The length of the contract.
Considering the contract and the age you would be by the time he it was over I wouldn't trade for him unless you got them for a nickel on the dollar
