Thread: Now this is a team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>chytil was the best player on the line, even rumors coming out that they would trade strome mid season when mika came back because chytil was doing this well</div></div>
Hot take. I don't buy it. He looked really good in the playoffs over a 3 game span, but I need to see that over a season before I'm ready to promote him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>You had to have actually watched both to see the difference</div></div>
Ah yes, remind me what he actually did in the playoffs then. Because his regular season line looked like 23 points, -26 rating, 43.5 CF%, xGD -8.9...
He's obviously got room to grow, and of course I hope he does, but just throwing him into the top 6 if he's not ready is neither good for him or the team.

I think you're operating under the misapprehension that Hank will still be here.

That doesn't mean Chytil has anything to do with it. Kreider and Buch play great together, Chytil didn't even play center in the playoffs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Kakko was a whole new person vs the canes and its better than putting kravtsov in the top 6</div></div>
No points, no hits, and more giveaways than takeaways in the playoffs? Sounds like the same old Kakko to me. Especially now with sexy Lexy projected to join the team - he'll probably get Kakko's spot on the top PP - Kakko is probably going to have more down time before he starts to turn it around.

Lol it's a free tool, it's not like you ran out of time! You forgot about one of the best trade chips they have.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15</b></div><div>Except that unless they are foolish they won’t spend all that money. Because shortly after that guys like Zibanijad, Kakko, Lafrienere will all be eligible for extensions. If they did do that it would be such an instant gratification move it would be detrimental to their long term success. You’re also assuming 2 of those guys would want to sign in NY, which to be honest isn’t for everyone.</div></div>

There's $30m in cap space. $10m of it is to resign players, Kakko hasn't shown that he deserves a huge raise yet, and Lafrienere hasn't even played a game yet. Plus - while the cap is flat for now, it should be going up in the future.

But even so, just landing Hyman as a 3C &amp; Oleksiak as a top 4 defenseman would be a huge boon for the team, and that shouldn't come close to the $20m surplus in case the kids continue to grow into their projections.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BroadwayBlueshirts</b></div><div>shouldn't trade their own 1st next year</div></div>

It's a 2021 1st, not asking for the #2OA.

Everything I read about LA rebuild says how they need to restock their blueline and it's not like there's a ton of quality young guys. ADA was a hell of a points producer this season, and the first would be 2021 so giving them a chance to get better, but honestly they can find a first for him elsewhere. The idea is to get $30m of cap space free in the 2021 offseason when (forwards) Landeskog, Saad, Paquette, Hyman, Schwartz, (defense) Murray, Hamilton, and Oleksiak are all projected to hit free agency.
