Thread: Your offer for Kravstov and Lundkvist
1st step: What does NYR need the most?
- 2 Top 9 RW
- Playoffs performers
- Muscles (not a need per se but more like the GM style of players)
- Nice to have: A 4th line center or a backup goalie upgrade
- Worst case scenario: Futures of similar worth

2nd step: What are NYR deal breakers?
- Adding caphit.
- Long term contracts exeeding league minimum by far. Too many RFAs will need raises in 2023.

3rd step: what can MTL offer that fit NYR needs?
-Retained Dadonov
-Retained Armia
-Evans, Allen
- Many picks including low 1st/high 2nds
- Mysak, Ylonen

4th step: What are the asked pieces value?

Kratsov: Top ten pick. Didn't performed as expected in America but in Europe. Major risk he would quit again if unsatisfied. Appears willing to play for NYR. Fills a NYR need. MTL doesn't need a RW or RW prospect. 

Worth a low 1st round pick/ high 2nd for MTL. Worth a middle 6 RW and a high pick for NYR.

Lundkvist: End of first round pick with high potential. Close to NHL ready. Asked for a trade. Fills a MTL need.

Worth a high 1st pick + for MTL. Worth a top 6 RW + for NYR.

5th step: Matching values.
Kratsov: 
- FLO 2023 1st
- 50% retained Dadonov 
- A contract dumped 
- Ylonen 

I can't see MTL going higher on a player who plays a position already fulfilled and might flee again. Neither can't I see NYR not getting a better return. Just a stretched match. Both teams reject.

Lundkvist:
- MTL 2023 2nd + low pick
- 50% retained Armia
- A contract dumped 
- Evans

I don't care about the lack of respect for Armia. He's a playoff beast and would fit perfectly in NYR system, philosophy and cap structure. Haters can go back to read what they said about Lehkonen and shut it. At 1.8M for 3 years, it has plenty of value. Hagel got 2 low 1st after all. The 5.4M saved by MTL also add value for them. Evans makes up for MTL inhability to offer a high ranked 1st because they wont touch their own. IMO this could be a match.

Thread: Whats Ducharme talking about

oh my goodness guys relax. Did you ever think this was all part of a bigger plan? to bring him up get a small taste of things, get to know some of the guys. Allow the ravenous media a small dose of access to him. Then send him back down, finish the remaining 10 or 12 games with Laval, then bring him up. I have never seen such rabid fans that seem incapable of letting those that have way more inside information run the team. Just because you have access to capFriendly does not mean you know what they intend or are trying to do. It is not about us. We are fans not owners. So relax, enjoy the game. Have some fun!
