So many injury plagued guys

Any trade for Eichel starts with ALex L. I'd say probably add Kakko too. Plus a 1st. These guys haven't shown well in their first couple of years (AL just 1) but draft stock still cares value at this time

So KK fox and Zib are gone next year? Where do you get cap to sign those guys?

You've possibly $7,500,000 in performance money to pay out if all bonuses are met, Ask me how you're going to pay it with less then $1,000,000 on the books?

Yeah good luck being able to resign Fox, Kakko and Lafreniere down the road, Look at what Seth Jones and Zach Werenski just commanded $9,500,000 Fox could easily get that much long term. And if both Kakko and Lafreniere live up to their respective ceilings. then both could command anywhere from $9,000,000 to $10,000,000 per year each down the road. Welcome to cap space hell.

Blues decline you can afford no retaion and if there is and a prospect or another 2nd

Haha what?

Ottawa accepts
