Gorton stated after the loss and at the draft that this team needs more grit to compete. Lemieux is the only grit they have, Kreider is one of the top 6 wingers can’t have him fighting. They’ll keep Lemieux for grit unless they get a very good offer for him.

Gonna take more than that to get Cirelli imo. Thinking what you have there +Robertson or one of their younger cost-controller guys
If NYR offer sheet Cirelli, it probably would be a 1+3... Carolina 1, and Buch was a 3. Now he is a legit top 6 RW. In all honesty, I don’t know if I’d do that if I’m the NYR. Very gutsy to throw JP on 2nd line after he’s done 0 in NHL.
