Thread: Solving RW Internal Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Igoat_Shesterkin</b></div><div>Have to remember that Blais got hurt early in the year. With him this is and entire different story. I think the currents lines are the best possible solution. I want Kakko to play with Panarin but then there is nobody to play with Mika. Laf needs more TOI but there are no spots for him currently and you can't move CK down because separating him and mika is a mistake</div></div>

I don't disagree at all, but based on our cap situation I think it is also important to explore how to win beyond just this year. I like Blais a lot, but he is a bit more expensive than we can afford next season. His Qualifying Offer is going to be around $1.6 million on the cap, and he's an RFA with Arbitration rights. Unless he's willing to take a pay cut, he may be a casualty in order to keep or replace Strome and is more or less equal to a rental IMO. Young guys need more minutes at the end of the day, as they are what determine our success not just for (hopefully) the long term, but the next few years of the window with this core.
