konecny wouldn't want a 7x7, it's basically a given he's not taking anything less than 8x9

If konecny is willing to take 7x7 rangers easily make a better offer

Could someone other than the best player in the league win the MVP award please?!?

What a stupid award, everyone twists themselves into knots to find a way to give to someone who isn't the MVP.

Now we have to listen to leafies chant MVP, even though everyone knows McDavid and Mackinnon exist.

Personally I believe DeBrincat is a good comparison. He signed a 4yrs 7.85m with DET, DeBrincat is more of a goal scorer and TK is more of a passer but both guys have similar stats so I think 9m is too far out of the question for TK even with the cap going up. 8m absolute max TK could get from anyone that is actually a playoff team.

Based on points Kuch is the most valuable player to his team. But my vote goes to the dawg himself MacKinnon. I'd be ok with either of them getting it.

If you're going to use the semantics of how the trophy is worded, it's Vasilevsky. You can play with 11 forwards and 5 D. You can't play without a goalie, every goalie is the MVP of their team.

If the league were redrafted, McDavid goes 1st OA and that's true going back to the year he entered the league.

I'm also cool with Mack getting it, but that's cause I like him.

Just rename it the McDavid.

Gavrikov has a full NMC, meaning he might only waive for one team, at which point you get what you can, and it's probably less than that.

True true, all that means though is that the Kings have to throw something more into the TK trade. Like their 2026 2nd or just take out all the picks and make it only the 2024 and 2025 1st.

Flyers beats reporting TKs asking number in July starts with a 9.

That trade for Evan’s would be an absolute overpay for the Kings. It’s fair if you get Evan’s only for a 4th rounder.
