If we have a really good top 4, he's fine as a #5/6.

I think were probably stuck with him for a while unless we retain a decent amount of salary, and Capper Jim doesnt seem like he would be the guy that does that

I would like to see how he plays in a new system under Housley. If, and this is a big if, he can stay healthy and contribute in a new up tempo pace he may prove to be worth keeping or at least increase his trade value. At this point his value is about as low as it can go.

Or the winner gets to pick where they want to draft + any player only (one) they had from that last year

Agreed, but if they can get him in the right role someone might take the whole deal.

It seems fair. So O'Reilly is worth it but not this guy?

I think thats too much for him too, but yea. I guess my worry with giving a young guy that kind of money is if he does not do keep up with the off ice stuff as much.

I think I would be a 5 year max on almost any player. Everyone is always trying to lock a guy up for so long and not many work out as well as say Crosby's deal. See Overchkin (crazy long deal), but not many 8 year deals are worth it for the last couple years.

The guy who sat in front of me at the premiere and wouldn't shut up every time Liv Tyler came on screen...that guy was a boob.

To be fair, Draiaitl did nothing in 37 games as an 18 year old. Blew up the next year.

But Pasta is definitely looking at 7+

I brought this up in one of the older blogs but neither forward moves the needle enough especially factoring in context. Granted draiasaitl showed it for a bit in mcjesus absence, I still think it's kinda high

If draisiatl is 8.5 jack is 10 easy. The idea these two are comparable is the work of an Edmonton blogger who still thinks kris Russell is a top four d-man
