Quoting: Birtle34
Arizona would prefer right handed, but I’m sure that works, depending on rfa negotiations, if I’m Arizona I sit at 6 and run to the podium if michkov is there, and if not be fine with whoever is there bpa. But with the wealth of picks going forward, getting who they want and not gambling probably not a bad strategy either. If Mcbain comes in at a nice number and nice term this is probably all null and void. 5x ish not sure what the hit is
So basically if SJS just picked and Michkov is still there you'd accept this deal?
If not then you wouldnt ?
Seems fair
I want Mcbain but truth is Lowry is just as serviceable even if older and on a team selling
So if the Draft day deal falls through there's always that route to take as my vision for Mcbain was just for 4 years.
After that i figured he'd leave and we'd have Smith, Beck, Kidney, Kappanen, Mesar, Davidson or someone like that step up and push out him ,Dach and Anderson.
Let them all Mature into roles become Gamers in the AHL then come up and dominate the NHL. In Beck's case Mcbain buys him 4 years to step into a top 6 role i believe he'll dominate.
We were this close to getting him too but out GM situation fell apart during the negotiations basically lol
I get why that didnt exactly inspire confidence and GM Armstrong is a guy who won a cup building up players like him with size in a league that's more speed based every year.
