Quoting: Wildwinswhen
All fair points RazWild. But isn't 2.5 -3 years of Kap better than zero? If he stays in the KHL for 3 years don't we lose his rights anyway?
Not to GMBG. He wants to tank/rebuild anyways, all his moves trades have been tanking moves not going for it moves:
1. Zucker for futures
2. Kunin for futures + flip Bonino at the TDL last year.
3. Staal/MarJo. Takes the worse player with a higher cap hit to get around a NTC and get something at the TDL.
4. Bjugstad was chance to flip for something positive if he remembered how to stay healthy and play.
5. Donato for futures.
6. Brodin, JEE, and Spurgeon long term so they are there when the Parise/Suter deals and the team was coming out of the rebuild.
7. Completely sat out the last TDL instead of even making a minor improvement.
8. Wouldn't give Boldy a chance to earn a spot for the Playoffs over the MarJo, Bjugstad, Bonino, Parise mess in the bottom-6.
The only problem was the COVID divisions, Kaprizov came in and blew up, and JEE figured out how to put pucks in the back of the net.
