Sujet: Optimistic Approach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Masonh618</b></div><div>I heard this same argument last offseason with Kakko. In addition, I'd accept a 1st and a 3rd in exchange for Lafreniere at $6M. Miller is going to be the priority extension, and I have no worries that it won't be completed before the offer sheet window opens.</div></div>

I don’t know how Miller should be prioritized over Chytil….but that’s not even a discussion worth having because by hook or crook, NYR need to do whatever it takes to get Miller, LaF, and Chytil extended. That said- potential returns on all 3 have to be listened to….and in the case of a 6M OS to LaF, the return 1st and 3rd might just be the best move. But I just don’t see that as realistic, as he is playing to a bridge deal rather than a massive overpay.

The Cap situation as it stands is razor thin (but not impossible) for next year. It really is in Drury’s best interest to get these guys locked ASAP. Should Miller and Chytil continue on this year’s trajectory, they will only get more expensive. If that happens then NYR should have a pecking order of who gets dealt…all on contracts other than minimum or ELC would be on this list. My guess is guys at the top of this list would be Goodrow, Trouba, and Lindgren. Other than Goodrow, any other move is probably going to be real unpopular (Lindgren) or real uncomfortable (Trouba- due to probably salary retention required).

Point is- his loosey goosey play has hurt them….I get the fact that he’s a unique talent- and a player that the coach needs to let do what he does. But the good teams….the defensively structured teams- have figured out how to defend him- to the point where he’s a non factor at 5x5 versus teams like BOS, MINN, Islanders, etc. And those cross ice passes which result in odd man rushes going the other way are just killers! I’m not giving up on him by any stretch- I mean, the skill and talent is there…but at some point he needs to adjust his game in response to the way opponents’ defenses have adjusted to him. That’s what really good players do!
