It is time to extend the young players and envision a future around them. The first step is moving Goodrow's $ off the books to make this happen; he only has a limited no-trade. Vegas has a surprisingly low amount of money committed to forwards next season and could look to add some stable leadership in Goody to take the next step at cheap price of a 4th.

Miller we get under $6M for the long term. We give Othman and Cuylle a chance with a full season and see how they do, can rotate in other minor leaguers like Blidh. At deadline, maybe add a 3LW.

Top priority the following offseason will be extending Lindgren and Kakko, which will require a major move - trading either Trouba or Kreider. By the 2025 season, one of those contracts needs to come off the books. We will have other key players due for extensions. I think Lindgren is more important to keep on this roster than Trouba or Kreider (and he's cheaper than both, much cheaper). I understand Chytil will be the most expensive 3C in hockey with the extension I propose. But I think he is going to be an elite player and $6.5M will look like a bargain. He will be on the first powerplay and given plenty of minutes, they will give him the opportunities, maybe even some looks on the wing considering he can't win a faceoff anyway.

Let's keep the conversation going I am always talking hockey on here or Twitter, give me a follow @Jason_Morrin. Looking forward to these playoffs, what a battle it's going to be!!!!!!
