2024-25 Season Thread

Ya probably Kypreos, but he was the only one that called Rantanen...so theres that I guess. Trading Buster would be admitting they screwed up (yet fucking again)....I doubt they do that

Playing conspiracy theorist here, but maybe that was the point of the damage control - plump his value up including giving him a long term deal instead of a bridge. That would be the quintonsential (see what I did there) chess move, checkmate.

If so that means they decided last summer he isnt part of the long term plan and identified he most likely will not develop into that star 1C/2C. Locked him up.long term knowing the cap is going up and $6.25 million will be easier to absorb starting in 2025-26 for basically all teams vs if they moved him now. Cost certainty for any team who acquires him.

I think any trade involving Buster would be a summer move when teams have the most space. Only two pressing contracts this summer will be Laferriere and Gavrikov. But that's assuming Buster is available to begin with.

That would be something and if so fooled me to a T. But Blake isn't that smart so...carry on.
