I wouldn't mind that move, but VGK can't take on any added salary. Also think Connolly is gonna get way more than that. Super interested to see what happens with Burky cause even though they qualified him, they could try to agree to a different contract with maybe lower AAV. IMO burky would play looser with a multi-year deal. Maybe 3 x 2.5M?

Yeah I agree, the connoly deal is a stretch, but for a middle 6 player like him he may take a pay cut to take a longer term deal for the security because he is used to the 1 year deals lol. But definitely think he is worth more in a shorter term deal.

I'd love to bring Connolly back, but he is only 27 and will get some decent term. Also, he really doesn't drive play and is a liability defensively. All he does is score, which is good obviously, but when he is cold he doesn't bring anything else. I'd love to see burky get a full year playing consistent minutes with Eller & Hagelin.
