Thread: Keep it Simple OR Take a Risk
I would wait until the 40-50 game point and see how they are doing. If they are showing signs of being legit, and you truly believe in this core, I think you have to go for it. But I wouldn't do that for a UFA. I would hope they made a move like Ottawa did for Chychrun last year. Try to find an age-appropriate, preferably right shot defenseman on a reasonable contract for a few years and pay the price if it doesn't include Lekkerimaki, Willander, or their 2025 1st.

Use some assets (even thought we don't have a lot) and try to set your core up to contend for the next 3-5 years. That is probably all we have with Miller's age anyways, unless you have another young C on the way at some point in that span...

Just don't use a prime asset for an expiring contract. It isn't worth it.
