I was just floating an idea out there with the Letang thing.
- Gunner Staal


Honestly, I'm all for shopping Letang this summer for the right deal. If he's gonna cost upwards of $6.5 mil, and can get you a premier young forward, I'm in.

A lot depends on how Morrow's development is going.

Yeah, does past contract have any bearing? I mean, he'll be playing like 3 years under market value, does he try to make up for that at all?

He is going to do what every player out there does. Get what he thinks is fair value for his services. He is going to look at a Brian Campbell and a Jay Bouwmeester and say, why not me.

And he'll get that plus, on the open market if it gets to that point.

I'm sorry but Letang is a game changer. He's a top 5 D-man in this league. No way I trade him on a already thin defense unless I get blown away with an offer.

Morrow doesn't do all the things Letang can.

I think Letang would stay at 5 years 6million. Everyone has taken less to stay together. He's getting paid it won't shock me if that's enough to get him to stay. Maybe I'm wrong.

I think you're wrong. 7 mil easily. He's a rare commodity and will be paid accordingly. I'd be shocked if it's anything less.
