That's a wicked thing to do to your captain. Seeing as you already gave him the big money contract and got the good years out of it, we will give you a 2nd, and that's if you can convince him to waive him NMC to come here, which you most likely won't be able to.

We'll hang onto Lundestrom though, his struggles are due to mismanagement of the player by the coach, he is a fine 3C for us.

I guess you're not familiar with recent NYR history. Callahan and McDonagh were both traded as Captains. It's a tradition. Trouba is great, we just don't have the cap - he's gone in 2024-25 for sure.
