<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike</b></div><div>I agree..my main point is Stevie is not new but he's new to these wings players ..hes seen them yes of course..but as he stated in presser..hes gitta get yo know them as ppl....thats why I think it'll be a yr at least before we see any real kid moves so he knows what he has &amp; who he thinks has that drive will to win etc..bide his time til knows this teams heart &amp; guts..tis all really is what vibe I'm getting putting the pieces together</div></div>

I think your right he goes slow and sees a bit more of what he has before doing anything crazy. I just see carolia and buffalo taking advantage of cap strapped teams and think why cant we be doing that. sure maybe we will after the 1st as teams get desperate and if steve proved anything in tampa is that hes patient.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike</b></div><div>Honestly think Stevie y will take it slow with kids..ras I think will be in gr for pace &amp; puck protection..svechnikov maybe for rehab &amp; pace...zadina for confidence..only kid ic up on roster is hirose cuz he proved production in his short time .otherwise the fwd kids stay in gr to learn &amp; grow I'd believe..think it's 2020-21 or post deadline this yr..when the flood gates open 4 kids...stevie wants to win too so i think young guys with something to prove on short deals &amp; mid $ r perfect..like chaisson donskoi dzingle ..even nichuskin get a "prove it" contract 2-3 yrs &amp; 3m per or less... to bide time for our kids up front to learn rehab &amp; grow..out of the NHL spotlight...thats only real issue..</div></div>

im all for nichuskin getting a deal and maybe most of the kids start in gr but I hope we see them at some point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mike</b></div><div>Palhal...that was not for you BTW... I usually may not like ur takes..but they make sense &amp; are thought out respectful.. I agree with you generally on ur post here...but 8 first rounders I'd have to think about it.. For a few at least..especially if I have faith in my front office/scouting staff.. Rock on..look forward to seeing what happens by deadline time</div></div>

Hey Mike. Perhaps my original response to you was not received in the way it was intended.

My ‘one in the hand vs two in the bush’ post wasn’t intended as proof that M&amp;M at high cap hits are worth more than the 8 first rounders.

I, too, was posing the same question, but trying to frame it in a way that calls into question how valuable individual first round round picks might be.

When your response was ‘i assume you prefer no cups’ I responded in an equally nasty tone and...voila. Here we are.

Anyone who’s familiar with me on here knows i value opinions and dialogue and have a tendency to call people out when they start preaching opinions as fact.

Anyway. Hopefully we get off on a better foot in another thread
