Agreed and I'm not completely opposed to bringing him back but it has to be for a reasonable cap hit and there absolutely has to be a stalwart of a partner already in place before I'd even consider.
It doesn't take much explanation.
I feel you're completely overvaluing Yandle's worth based on his regular season point total and not looking at the rest of his game which is completely non-existent.

His career playoff points per game is higher than his regular season mark.
31
With all due respect but have you ever heard the phrase "What have you done for me lately?"
He's got a single point and is a -4 in 5 playoff games this year. That in itself is disgusting plain and simple
He's got 31 points and a +2 in 51 games which is very average for an offensive dman
Please tell me what he has done that has you so impressed in big game situations?

Not sure where you're going with this.
You're talking about a kid in what, his 2nd year? That had an attitude in the locker room vs a veteran that sucks in his own zone and wants big time dollars.
Seguin was always projected to be a sure thing and has proven as such. What makes Yandle, who is a one dimensional player worth the price tag he's asking for?

Yandle was not treated as a third pairing defenseman even strength. That's BS.

Yandle got pretty much the average amount of ice time at even strength. More minutes than any other D on the power play. His minutes took a hit because he almost never killed penalties which is pretty much because he's not a great defender. So when posters here say he was shortchanged on ice time---it's not really the case. AV simply sheltered him from the hardest defensive situations and made up for it by using him more on the power play.

Listen I don't want to give him more then 5 but I understand what he brings to the table. Unfortunately his defense and brain farts make him a risk

He has a stalwart of a defensive partner to play with, but AV was too stubborn to take him out of the press box. We have very little puck-moving ability on the backend. That's Yandle's strong suit, along with the ability to qb a powerplay.
If they want to sign someone like Goligoski for less term and cap hit, fine, but can we please not act like we'll be perfectly fine by losing Yandle. Where is the offense coming from the backend if we're trotting out McDonagh, Klein, Staal, Girardi, McIlrath, and Skjei?

He was also smack dab in the middle of several pivotal goals against. He was horrific in the defensive zone all series. Haven't seen that mentioned much.
It's incredibly shortsighted to make a decision on a player based on a single postseason series, particularly when the vast majority of the team was invisible. Honestly using a five game sample to reach a conclusion about anything is ridiculous.
I'm not really ready to even think about this team moving forward and don't have an opinion on Yandle at the moment, but I saw this post and felt compelled to comment.

It's all so tiresome
31 points in 51 games, when the playoffs are actually lower scoring than the regular season is average.
U wot m8?

I'm not judging him based on just this playoff series. He's sucked defensively his entire career.
Speaking of ridiculous..I appreciate his assist totals but why is it that all you pro Yandle guys absolutely refuse to acknowledge his defensive deficiencies?
It's either..The sample size is too small or it was the rest of the team around him or some other kinda weak bs excuse. Some of you would actually blame the weather before giving Yandle his fair share of the criticism.
Yandle is the exact type of player this team should be avoiding IMO.
Give me a break
How does a dman score 31 points in 51 games and only have a +2?
Answer: It's because he completely abandoned his defensive responsibilities and gave up a **** ton of goals
Rangers ftw
