Yeah! look at Nashville this year. They pushed all there chips in for free agency and are now.....6-10-3.

But hold on, what about the leafs in 2023? They swung big with Max Domi, Klingberg and Bertuzzi. Oh right, they flamed out in the first round.

We aren't running out of road and the end of this year we will finally be able to untie one hand from behind our back with the cap hits. Just because you go big in free agency doesn't mean you come home with the cup. Truth is, we don't have the team to go deep this year, even with the addition of some TDL pickups(with what money, who the heck knows). Our prospects have yet to develop in the NHL capacity and any of them other than Rossi we would be selling low on instead of possibly getting a top 6 guy on an ELC. With the NMC and NTC's we have there are very few we can move easily, some of which will be expiring next year before we *possibly* lose Kap. 

I like the angle of spending on July 1st after we see if we can lock up Kap to an extension. We can't spend money that needs to be allocated to him. Rossi is still an RFA and you can take him to arbitration to keep his hit lower. We "lose" Merrill and Mojo and get some room to move around. Declan, Lauko and Khus will be reasonable contracts. We could get to see what Buium and Yurov look like and have a better idea of what we will be getting and what kind of track that Ohgren and Milne are on. Unless one of the injuries we currently have ends up being a long term issue I don't see much of value on offer for the TDL. That could change, I am just referring to the upcoming UFA's

Yeah! look at Nashville this year. They pushed all there chips in for free agency and are now.....6-10-3. Well Stamkos will be 35 in couple of months and his best days are behind him.....I am suggesting Tuch and Tkachuk - whose best days are still ahead of them. Why not add Vegas to the list instead? Their plan succeeded. 

But hold on, what about the leafs in 2023? They swung big with Max Domi, Klingberg and Bertuzzi. Oh right, they flamed out in the first round. I wouldn't call that going for it. We all seen Klingberg play and Domi and Bertuzzi are not Tkachuks. 

I like the angle of spending on July 1st after we see if we can lock up Kap to an extension. Patience then....so you are with status quo approach .... and what if Kap says on Jul 1 "thanks but i'll will evaluate all my option the following year"....what then? that is exactly what he'll say IF we don't change his mind this year. we've had this convo before. That's my gut feeling. We stay pat - Kap does not sign Jul1 and we are done. Zuccy will leave. Kap will leave. But we will have our prospects. We will always have our prospects. OTHER Teams will win. But MN teams will always have hope for next year. hahaha
