Ok look, they'll obviously miss Konecny but the one area they aren't weak in are on the wings. Foerster had a great rookie season and he has a higher ceiling than Konecny. Tippett is still getting better. Michkov is here now. Farabee is a good middle 6 winger and all those guys are way younger than Konecny. Oh and Brink will be a full time player this year as well. They'll miss Konecny if he goes, but he's 27 and going to be 28 when his new deal kicks in. Signing him to a big long term deal doesn't make sense, especially with they actually do have his "replacement" already on the team.
They need to trade Konecny for two young players under 23 ( good players)
When (if) the rebuild (retool) comes to fruition, Konecny will be in his 30's and on that list for worst contracts in the NHL. They need to learn their lesson from the Couturier contract. They are way further away than you think they are. Buying your way to a championship may be a short term solution but it artificially shortens a window.
I really like the maturity of this kid. Very cerebral. Humble. He gets it. Can't wait to see him in the net playing for Philly.
Great interview with Carson, Jason! He seems like a great goalie prospect, something that is needed in the organization with the current uncertainty surrounding the position. His attitude will get him far and I will be rooting for him!
