Did you forget to add a 1st and 2nd going to nashville?

Whew, boy... If you get Montour at $6.5m, Guentzel at sub $8.5, and Skjei at $6m then Don deserves another GM of the year award
I expect in that case then they'd get a veteran defensive defenseman to pair with Morrow since Nikishin can't come over for another year

For a pair of bottom-sixers... I don't think so... Maybe another piece going towards the Preds but not multiple high round picks

Guentzel and Montour decline those offers

Even for future considerations, why would NSH want Kotkaniemi? They've got a surplus of better depth centers that make much less.

If he's chasing a bag then yes... If he want's to win a win a cup then he'd probably accept that

They are taking on a 5C who is still owed almost 30 million dollars

It's been a very unlucky year... like he's shooting 9% and able to generate a ton of chances (.98 xiG/60). No way Don is gonna pay that much to dump an asset.
He's a 2C/3C tweener who just hasn't been able to score

Guy is looking like a very overpaid okay 3C man

Kotkaniemi's the worst player in that trade, and the worst contract either organization has. Even Caniac2000 would love this deal for CAR.

He can chase a cup in multiple locations and still get at least 9x7. That's what happens when you are a highly coveted player

Montour is 30 he will want at least 6 years

Probably yes... But it isn't gonna be that bad of a contract for much longer with how much the cap is going up

at some points the sample size get big enough to factor luck out. you dont sit out a ''2c'' because he has bad luck.

That's a fair point... but it's been a 60-game cold streak... I don't think that's enough to write the whole contract off as a massive overpayment

No he isn't.

Which cup contender is gonna have enough cap? Dallas maybe?

Strongly disagree with you... last year proved he could be a 2C when given ice time but this year his analytics indicates that he's supposed to be a lot better than he is. His IPP, ixG, SH% all indicate that he's supposed to be much better than he is

He has never been good. He has always played sheltered minutes and hardly produced. You can't even cite normal analytics stats, you have to cherry pick micro stats

It's OK to admit your team made a mistake.

They did mistake signing him I will admit that but I do think that they will find a way out of this

Hawks say no. Why would they pay anything for a 33yo overpaid player at their only position of strength?

yeah, kk is still young, he can still improve even thiugh he is looking more like a 3c.

maybe he can get more 40 point seasons in yhe future but i just dont buy the unlucky narrative.
