Prior to this contract, I think he had trade value. Now? I don't think so. He might at the TD in the last year of this contract.
Mark Stuart = 0 value
Pardy or Postma should be playing over him.
He has never had value outside of Winnipeg.
Who said anything about having a beer with anyone? It is about leadership, character, and ethic - I don't think this player is nearly as bad as he is painted in here and contributes in ways cute pie charts can't show. You do not need to be an athlete to understand that people like that are a requirement for cohesiveness and stability in a team dynamic.
General managers are human resource and asset resource managers, and they understand the nuances of what pieces are needed for a good team. There is zero doubt in my mind that general managers would covet what Stuart brings. Just because you can't count it doesn't mean there isn't value.

Whatever he brings, this team has never won a playoff game with him.

The offensive numbers are almost identical in spite of many Pardy Dangles but look at the difference in the shot metrics! Of course Pardy's are from a much smaller sample because Maurice plays him so little.
Even going back a few years it seems like Pardy has always been a pretty dominant Corsi player. These numbers are quite something. He must have either been heavily sheltered throughout his career or he is a closet top 2 defenseman.
Pardy plays sheltered minutes... but ****, wouldn't you prefer not being outscored and shot in those sheltered minutes like #Stuuuuuuuuu is?
I want those sheltered minutes to be the most boring, low event hockey we ever watch.
Then I want our 2 top pairs to come back on the ice, and do their thing. I don't get the Stu over Pardy thing myself - Pardy isn't the best d-man in the league, but he's a very serviceable bottom pairing guy.
Plenty of teams would love to have Mark Stuart. You'd easily get a 3rd for him, maybe a late 2nd.
SOLD! - But I have to run it by Chevy first. Stay right there I'll get his approval and be right back.
About half of a bacon sandwich.
His value is roughly commensurate to a Citizen 14" TV/VCR combo.
