Fine. You said 8+, shall we settle on 8.5? Or 8.25? (I need a reasonably precise #).

And when you clarify, here is my 3rd question:

What is the price of veteran mentorship/leadership?

Needless to say, teams value leadership/mentorship and bring it in the locker room whenever they can esp with young teams. Staal might play that role with Habs, Thornton/Simmer with Leafs, etc. etc.

Lets say you have 2 centers: Identical positions, identical projected stats, identical expected durability over the relevant time period. One has experience and is a vet, the other does not.

How much more would you be willing to pay for the intangibles alone? Remember, any more $ you allot, takes away from what you are able to spend elsewhere.

Let’s go $8.5mil. I would be paying Coots for his overall value to the team. Leadership is certainly a part of that. However, I am paying him to be a bonafide #1 center for my team. He is that now and will be for another 5 years at least.

For the record I would pay other bonafide #1 centers the same even if they were not great leaders.

but they're our poopties

EDIT: Alternatively, you could simply rank teams in likelihood of winning at least 1 cup in the next 4 years in your head, and say where Flyers rank in that order of likelihood. We will get approximate odds from that.

This was a tough one and their may be a few surprises here, but here is my list:

Vegas
Tampa
Capitals
Colorado
St. Louis
Rangers
Flyers

I only back read a few pages but did I really see someone suggest we trade coots?? 😳😳

Wow we have sink that low that we would let our seller should-be-captain go?
- Bob Habib

If you need to package coots in a package for someone like eichel yes bye bye coots

Mickey Mouse station out here cut to the 'Goldbergs'....probably just as well

Oh I don't know, I can't see Fletcher doing this unless AV was on board, and maybe even pushing for it.
- jd250

could be but waiving a player is ultimately the GM's call. He did it to clear cap space (don't ask me how that works) and then when they needed to add Lyon and carry 3 goalies that had a cap issue and roster limit issue for last night's game. So, Ghost to the taxi squad. i am not really on board with it unless they can have a plan to add a quality player at t the deadline and needed cap space to do it.

I'll give to Quinn. F#cker can't hit but he made a heckuva throw.
