I don't do social media except for here so I wouldn't know. I don't do Facebook, or any of that crap. So I wouldn't know what you are talking about. I'm sure it was my name and Homie.

4.5 would be interesting

What's mitts value nowadays?

Very late 1st , early second?

- Boss34


Mitts still has some value i would think. He is still young and does need some work. What hurts is i think he may need to clear waivers, i might be wrong.

Interesting note on Boeser is how his current contract is structured and how the final year of his deal is $7.5M with zero salary bonus.

That means his qualifying offer will be $7.5M when his current contract ends.

Sam Reinhart's qualifying offer? $3.75M.

Something that would have to be thought about, if you were to make a move for him.

Does that kinda mean he’d want at least $7.5 on the next deal?!?

Structured that way to be at least that, or he can’t test the open market. Believe that was the strategy

That means in order to retain him as a RFA when his deal expires you have to guarantee him a one year deal at $7.5M

Interesting that the Blackhawks went Pegulia Executioner style on their Hockey Ops Dept as well.
They did however promote 3 Directors into Asst GM positions to go along with large scale terminations, 1 demotion and 3 transitions to part-time roles.

So then the question is how does that fit into the cap for the forwards going forward?

Jack at 10
Skinner at 9
Samson at 7 ish
Boser at 7.5 ish
Olo at ? 3? 4? 5?
2c at. ?

$37.5 in the top 6 without counting a 2c

Does that work?!?

Yes to keep his rights, so is he a player worth getting for atleast 2 more years at 5.9 mill. Will he grow, can he finally stay healthy. He's a 55pt player know, he's basically a Rhino, with a injury problem.

So the 5.9 would certainly help for 2 years.

Does his style of play fit with Skinner and a tbd 2c or Is Anderson a better target at 2rw?

Would Detroit give up Michael Rasmussen, Dekeyser and Joe Veleno for Sam Reinhart?

They are trying to shed salary, so Risto might be out.

I've been told there's always a better outside hire for those positions.
