what in the? okay, couple issues here. Let's do contracts first. 4 years is a no go for Carlo, that term brings him directly to UFA without buying out any UFA years. That hasn't happened in NHL history yet, so I don't think it's going to happen now. bump it down to 3 years and i think the money is right for a 3 year deal. For Mcavoy, it's close, but 2 years is super player friendly as it gets him out of group 1 RFA, and also gets him arb rights. for 3 years, i think that's fine. 4 years even would be okay, probably a smidge more expensive but okay.
Then there's the trade. Krug was 7th in points per game for d men last season. Here's the list of guys that had more points per 60 minutes played as a blueliner: Brent Burns, that's it. Over the last two seasons he's fourth among d men in points, and i believe first in points per 60. You're trading that guy, with a prospect and a pick for a guy that can't crack the lineup on a bottom ten team in the NHL. Please explain why.
