It's $2.6m per for the next 2 seasons, not $5.2m per.5.2m for the next two season is a lot for a #5 playing 17 minutes a game. I think you are being optimistic in regards to his trade value, no team will trade assets for a 36 year-old with 2 more years left at a fairly high cap hit. It will cost the Isles to move him imo (if he agrees to expand his list).
Disagree. $2.6m per for a solid RHD, who brings veteran leadership and will come cheaply will draw interest.
Boychuk's first comment after being dealt from Boston to the isles was " we ( Isles) are a good team".
Don't underestimate what swag and locker room leadership means to a floundering organization.
