Donald can you heaah me?
5 years with a reasonable to slightly better than reasonable aav.
That kid is a Bruin and will not suffer from "too much security". He's filthy hungry, willing to play within the system, has high hockey IQ, great speed, great shot, loves to hit, and appears to be the type of guy I'd want to be on road trips with (assuming that doesn't get out of control but my sense is that it's not going to, at least not for a few years).
YOU DON'T WAIT AROUND ON THOSE ONES. THIS IS WHAT A GM IS, RECOGNIZE THE KEEPS AND NOT KEEPS... DUHHHH......... you gather up all the keeps and you deal the not keeps...
Colin Miller, same.
Morrow, deal.
Trotman, play by ear.
Of course Loui is the sticker, and they're almost certainly not going to be able to afford him. If he's going to move, they need to approach PB and let him know that it will be another lost season. I don't think they want to do that so Loui probably can't be moved. So another UFA, literally the most desirable UFA by far for a contending team will likely walk for nothing. (2nd year in a row perhaps. Carl was up there with the best ufa's last year. Told ya so on that one. What a waste. You worked so hard to get him and then let him just fall through your fingers... bad...
Back to the point at hand, these decisions are based purely, 100% on the individuals involved, and this is a case where you just need to get it done and then make sure Claude treats him accordingly, and not like some disposable, replaceable piece (that does not mean guaranteed playing time in the short term, however it does mean that, when possible, the extra opportunity to succeed should be provided).
