Pewterschmidt Verified Member Posted Tuesday at 02:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:24 PM (edited) Guerin's final grade will depend on whether or not 97 re-signs, period. I don't care how this group does during regular season, or playoffs this year. If the team flames out the second half of this season, but 97 re-signs in off-season, Guerin get's an A. If 97 doesn't re-sign Guerin gets promoted to NHL hockey fan (fired). Your move hot shot.

The only thing he'd potentially get out of it would be a definitive NO and then try to pry more out of a trade given he'd have an extra year. No sense distracting the day to day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his girlfriend wants to live in California or something and we won't be able to convince him to stay no matter what we do. Situations can be more complex than what you or I see. Things are rarely that black and white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are rarely that black and white. My approach removes all that pesky subjectivity. Keeps it simple for my small brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense distracting the day to day I am pretty sure KK has a NMC so trading would be tricky also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sense distracting the day to day How far into May do you think this team can go? Bottom line is I think Shooter will have the whole month of June to negotiate a deal. Let Kaprizov do Kaprizov things for now, and maybe you give the agent a call around April for feelers, like, making an appointment to negotiate in St. Paul sometime in June. Playing devil's advocate here (because I think he will resign), but if he doesn't, wouldn't the offseason be the better time to trade him? You get to find out what team(s) he wants to go to and everyone can make cap things work. I would imagine that you could work out some things for this draft too.

Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) You would also avoid the "get injured/can't trade" scenario. Unlikely, but I believe that happened to Gaborik. Keep Logan Stanley away from Kap for another year. Edited 22 hours ago by Citizen Strife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
