it wasn't a salary dump as much as it was the fact that they signed Panarin and kreider long term, had Kakko and Lafreniere and expected big things from both, and they didn't want to commit long term to another winger

people don't remember but they were the finalists for Danault before he chose the Kings, and that was after the Buch deal

but they made a terrible deal for Buch

Nah we just talk lots. Tom's a good dude. Some folks just have some interesting interpretations of what it means to be a prospect.

Most forwards have hit their offensive peak by age 23 or 24.

He played 119 games and won a cup. A prospect isn’t on the big club, at least not full time.

Oh I remember that. He’s gotta go for sure
