The nice thing is that if Chayka's analytics are worth a damn, he'll have plenty of evidence to see that Boedker is not worth resigning and we won't waste budget dollars on him.

Not all. Some players want to go to a winner, or play for a certain coach, or have stability for family reasons.
1. Mike Ribeiro—A lack of offense isn't the reason the Predators are facing elimination—prior to Saturday's 5-1 loss, they'd scored four goals in back-to-back games. But with the Sharks looking more and more like a legitimate Cup contender, Nashville will need everyone contributing to win Games 6 and 7. And that includes Ribeiro, a guy who theoretically is a top-six center, but one who's virtually disappeared so far during the playoff run.
Ribeiro has been pointless in the series after recording just one assist in the opening round. He's been so ineffective that he was scratched for Games 3 and 4 against the Sharks. He returned for Game 5, but his only impact on the scoresheet was a misconduct from an end-of-game scrum. Even at 35, he's coming off a decent year, one in which he hit the 50-point mark. But for a guy whose game doesn't contribute much beyond offense, one point in ten games isn't cutting it.

And still there are people who think this team would have been better off keeping him.

We would have been better off two years ago and could have even used his 50 pts this last season, but at this point we're in better shape w/o him and moving forward.
Yea because it's always good to screw yourself out of the best draft position possible.
Oh about the harder you work the luckier you get comment you made during the season. How lucky did the Coyotes get in the lottery? Oh yea! Still stuck at 7th.

The game is a game of men and the draft is designed to create parity, it's too bad some choose the way of the wimp.
I had to laugh as you took the comment totally out of context for a couple laugh emoji's.
Certainly can't fault Boedker at going for the money but his agent has absolutely no tact
Will be interesting to see if it works. Didn't get him a contract here at any rate.
Capitals out. Wow.
dagnabit, I was hoping the caps would advance, but so it goes.
Pens tapped a fresh coach and he brought in young guys willing to skate through a wall. Funny how that works for some teams, but is heretical to suggest for others.
