<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>I did not post this trade, did I? All I said was Chytil and the other young kids and best prospects wouldn't be traded for a Kane rental or any rental. That's not a knock on Kane, it's just good asset management. If a 1st round pick and B prospect isn't enough to rent Kane, then fine, trade him to someone else who will give you more. How is that a problem for anyone?</div></div>

Good asset management includes realizing when your window is at its peak so you can maximize your chances. Chytil will want a raise this offseason, and more important long-term pieces such as K'Andre Miller and Lafreniere to a lesser extent will need new deals along with 6 other players to fill out your roster. Maybe Othmann is ready and that LW spot is even further cluttered (he's sick). Maybe Zac Jones fills in that 3rd LD spot. It isn't a panic but it will be much tougher to put as good of a team as you can this year on the ice as next year. With the roster Drury and Jeff Gorton assembled I think it is in a spot to sacrifice one of its 2 late1st round picks, a late second next year, and a good middle 6 center for a dynamic winger with a playoff resume stronger than the team's combined he'd be joining with an easy spot to fill in which is a need. Panarin, Zibanajed, Kreider, Trocheck and Trouba are at their peaks right now, and hopefully the other young pieces continue to step up as their game's grow. I think slotting in Kane is certainly worth the cost of giving this team an actual chance at a ring instead of a team that would be lucky to make round 2. I think the impact and upgrade he would be is understated by some Ranger fans. There is the infrastructure to continue to build and develop the young group while maximizing the current window. I see your point, and am likely biased but that's my diatribe.

I'd be fine dealing him elsewhere it's just a cop out to slot him with Panarin in NYR. I think Dallas could be a great fit if he would waive and seeing him go to Buffalo if they can get into the mix would be fun too. The Islanders could also swoop in, upgrade and leave them in a slightly better spot than they were, hurting NYR's odds as well, though they aren't really a team that can truly contend contend even with him I don't think, though they would be a stereotypical tough playoff out.

Sujet: Grubauer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>in what world does Makar sign an OS....just bc you think a team can prepare one doesnt mean he will sign it or the Avs wont match.
The probability of Makar singing one, him singing one the Avs wont match is basically 0

And I dont see the Hawks offering Grubauer this deal...last season they didnt want to offer Lehner a long term deal, which is why he was traded and ultimately signed with Vegas. Do you really think that Stan is going to give more AAv and Term 1 year later to Grubauer when he just could have given that to Lehner</div></div>

If makar is offered 11 mil AAV he sure would sign that deal, I want to make the avs pay him a lot and not get a discount so you're screwed when Nate needs a new deal and you can't keep your top line, makar and a good goalie. Crawford was outplaying Lehner, and rather than let Lehner walk for nothing he got some value for him and left his options open with Crow at the end of the season. Also just an FYI, these avs will never be comparable to those hawks teams, the hawks didn't lose round 2 two years in a row in their prime :)
