He's due, and I'm wondering what everyone would be happy with as far as AAV and term.
I want to steer the discussion more towards Shatty, because his tenure seems to be less certain that Schwartz. I'm of the opinion that we should prioritize signing him, even as Parayko emerges and presumably improves. I'm going to contradict myself a bit from a previous post, but if keeping Shattenkirk means one RHD has to play the offside, I'd be all for it.
He is a movable asset, but I'd be satisfied only if he returned a high caliber top 6 forward or a left handed version of himself. I think his absence creates a bigger hole than perhaps some realize. The PP in particular suffers, and he's our best offensive blueliner for sure.
What's your take on Kevin Shattenkirk?
