NHL:
What would be the strategic implications of replacing Pietrangelo via trade or free agency, and how would that influence Eichel’s extension terms?
Qwiket AI:
Replacing Pietrangelo with a high-caliber defenseman either via trade or free agency would accelerateVGK’s win-now trajectory, enabling a more aggressive extension for Eichel. The cap would need careful balancing; a strong defensive presence could justify a longer, structured deal for Eichel without sacrificing depth.
