I'd buy that. 2 years for 2 million per with some shutout bonuses thrown in etc. Anything over, drop him.

No way Mrazek deserves anything more than a one year deal if we keep him. If he plays well down the stretch here, I think they should work something out for 1 year and see how it goes. You can’t gamble on another multi-year deal at this point unless they somehow can work out the money to be cheaper which seems exceedingly unlikely.

There is only ONE Owen Tippett.

Dinguses you'd love to have on your team... I'd take Matthew in a heartbeat, and Brady is supposed to be even more skilled and tougher... Also, regarding whether or not he's a center or a winger. He's played both, and I think he's skilled and headsy enough that he could play either at the NHL level. It's just a matter of developing him as a center (if that's where we want him to play). Do we need another top 6 center though? Larkin is a legit top 6 center (hopefully number 1), so it just depends on whether or not Rasmussen develops into a 2C or tops out as a 3C. Athanasiou is still an option as a middle 6 center (although I prefer him on the wing). And it's also possible that Turgeon could develop into a legitimate 3rd line center. Point is, while I would prefer to take a center over a winger, I don't think it's that crucial. I just want to take best player available with what should be our highest pick since 1990 when we drafted Primeau 3rd overall...

You guys crack me up worried about trade value while plodding out the same overpriced garbage night after night. Just sign Howard for the next decade and be done with it.

... or Vilardi... Fair points except the fact that he's a Tkatchuk is a big reason I'd like to draft him. He's solidly in my top 3. Dahlin, Svechnikov, Tkatchuk for me.

Ask Leftwinger. Yeah but he has a hockey name like Turgeon, Bertuzzi, Holmstrom, or Li(n)dstrom. Kenny wants him.

https://www.nhl.com/lightning/news/what-exactly-is-a-restricted-free-agent/c-721878 Player does not have to take amount offered in a qualifying offer. After the offer is made they can reject it and remain an RFA, while negotiating for another amount. That being said, if a player does sign the qualifier at any time, it becomes binding at the qualifying amount. So there is a small loophole. If there is another amount discussed and agreed on, he can reject the qualifier and sign for that amount if he chooses. Not saying it’ll happen, but it’s perfectly legal under the CBA. Also, the part of my post above about accepting the qualifier then renegotiating was wrong. He can’t sign the qualifier without the team being on the hook for full amount.

IDK. I would take it I guess, but it seems light to me. I feel like if a team's getting both players there should be a 3rd piece like a 2019 pick or a prospect.

You're not the only one, there appears to be have been 20 plus guys with Red Wings jerseys on that had the same idea.
