I look at the Morton signing as a good test for the scouts. The scouts had to have seen something to warrant a signing. Could be a Conroy show of faith in our junior scouts that would help him determine how much influence they have on the up coming draft.
Totally agree. /\
I would boo hannifin if he would have forced a signing at 8+ x 8 years
Gaudreau I am NOW happy we didn't sign him 10.5 x 8 years.
Monahan now has my full respect. Dicked around by this club and was honorable throughout.
Toffoli for VGK 2024 1st
Markstrom for NJ(VGK 2024 1st) +
So we end up getting the VGK 2024th 1st anyways and push our 2025 VGK 1st to a unprotected 2026 VGK 1st.
Won't happen but is fun to speculate.
I think we would have got the same or less in the summer for Hannifin, He has gone on a personal best tear this year which without it Hannifin would be looking at a smaller payout.
I'm happy it's done. Under whelmed by the return but was preparing for worse. A 1st and 2nd can land us through draft or trade a player that will make us forget Hannifin.
