The Daily: MacKinnon Seeking Big Money; Pittsburgh Trade Possibilities
Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon has a Stanley Cup in tow. Now he’ll be looking for big money and no whammies along the way.
Colorado Hockey Now’s Adrian Dater writes that MacKinnon’s team friendly $6.3M cap hit is a year from expiring, and he won’t be pressing his luck seeking a big payday to make him hockey’s highest paid player. But will Colorado press its luck to do so?
Should Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider continue their ascent, could MacKinnon’s new deal be dwarfed years down the line when the two hit unrestricted free agency?
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Hockey Now’s Dan Kingerski sizes up four potential trade suitors should the Pittsburgh Penguins be seeking a way out of cap hell. The four teams–Buffalo, Arizona, Anaheim, and Chicago all are in different spots. But each could provide some relief.
