Id try to be a bit more aggressive with the RFA extensions. Not that I'm trying to nickel and dime our own players...I just thing be "lax" on contracts sets a negative precedent.

But I get your overall point and 100% agree.

Your point is well taken. To be honest, the only guys from the RFA group that I think are still around coming out of the rebuild might be Regula and Soderblom. And to me, they still have to "prove" they can play in the NHL. But yeah, Kurashev and Caleb could definitely get more $$'s
