Toews at 50% is still a 70-80 pt selke quality center, somebody f***in put a bullet in me if I need to explain this in every thread over the course of a rebuild. I’d ask for a high end prospect like Newhook, Rossi, Perfetti, Hayton, Steel, Glass, etcToews at 50% is worth something positive at least. At least a 2nd or decent prospect.

I’m a Blues fan and I’m sitting here like has everyone lost their damn mind, TOEWS IS STILL ELITE AF. Period.

If cash isn't a concern to ownership then retaining is the way to go with Kane and Toews, I'm talking 3+M retention on each. You aren't going to get a better return on that cap space.
I would guess
Kane - 2 x 1sts + 1 great prospect or 2 good propects
Toews - 1st + 2nd + 2 good propects.
Even more if they take on a short term cap dump.
Keith is a tough call, if they try to trade him he might just retire. He's near the end of that contract where the salary has dropped significantly.
The problem is that at 50% retention he is making like 5.25 million. Thats pennies until 2024.He is not 10.5 million dollars elite and therein lies the problem.
I'm guessing most real contenders are more concerned with cap hit than actual dollars (except maybe COL) but who knows these days.To everyone reading this thread: Their contracts are front loaded as well. They only earn 7 million with a 4-5 million dollar signing bonus over the next 3 years which probably can be ate for better picks
I'd only want Toews on the Jets if 50% of his salary is retained by the Hawks.
if they hadn't blown their budget on Pietrangelo
I feel like Kampf would be a good 4C option for the Habs. What would Chicago want for him?
Leafs would definitely want Murphy. I dont know how the Leafs would do it though tbh. They have the picks/prospects, I think, but in terms of the cap, I can't see it.
That isnt how rebuilds work.Kane for Marner. Cap hits close enough. Chicago gets a cornerstone for the rebuild, and Toronto gets somewhere in the playoffs.
Seattle would might come to the table for futures. They would want big name talent to start selling merch and tickets.Toews and Kane in Vegas would kind of make sense if they hadn't blown their budget on Pietrangelo and could shed Fleury and Pacioretty. They seem to be missing a high end finisher and a number one center.
