Unless our management is confident through back channels that they have a really good shot at him, why get into that fight. Some of these players moved are really solid pick ups (not this one in particular) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these players moved are really solid pick ups (not this one in particular) Fill holes while every other team is trying to get better while we look to remain the same. I don’t see us matchup well against a fully healthy Vegas as is even with a toffoli or debrusk and if they do indeed go for guentzel I don’t see how we can even match up against them l.. a lot of the good contending teams have 8+ 9+ million guy and ices an excellent team on the ice. While we have 1 and don’t want to pay for any high end players and go the cheap route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we have 1 and don’t want to pay for any high end players and go the cheap route It isn’t about the salary, it is how efficient it is compared with their cap hits. Paying $10 million for Guentzel IF you get him in a sweepstakes is going to give you worse results on the ice as he won’t live up to that. The biggest chance is you end up with neither and end up with Hoglander and Podkolzin in your top six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them die out Because it helps them too, sometimes In this case it gives Washington a guy who has shown he can maybe be a legit #1 to pair with Lindgren on the cheap Thompson's cap hit ain't even 800k, that's great for a cap crunched Caps team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
