realistically hes a 4-6 guy right now, I don't see him as a Power play type player. He could be decent on the pk, and a shut down guy if his smarts ever matched his actual abilities.
Im a lot higher on him then most people in this group but he certainly has the potential to be a 2-3 guy... really his hockey iq is holding him back. Hes only 24 and still have a long career ahead of him. I personally would hold on to him, I still think hell end up a top 4 guy within the next 2 seasons. His value is probably pretty low right now wouldn't no what to put it at.

It'll be an interesting offseason. Rumors were that Vatanen was being offered as part of the package for Kesler. Sbisa won't be moved until we know if Sammi is staying here or not IMO.
Assuming Vatanen stays and Sbisa is just the odd man out, I'd expect his value to be similar to what we traded Peter Holland for. 2nd or 3rd + prospect who needs a change of scenery.

Second rounder. I'd say maybe 3rd considering that's all we got for Wisniewski but he was older and his contract was about to expire. But then again Sbisa only has two years left and should be a UFA despite what capgeek says.

He should be a UFA. The end of his contract will be 7 years in the league. I don't understand why they have him listed as an RFA.

IIRC, when BM signed him it was noted that Sbisa would still be a rfa at the end of the deal. People were lovin' BM for the signing at the time. Times change.

Probably because of the season we sent him back to Lethbridge/Portland

Yep, that one didn't count. Philly thought the first year didn't count either, but I think there was a massive screw up on Holmgren's part there.

Really missed it, my bad.I Forgot the. Nevertheless, Sbisa alone will not fetch anything significant

at best he'll get us a 3rd round pick or some prospect that won't really ever pan out in the NHL

Great post and spot on. As much as people like to **** on Sbisa, he is only 24 and has all of the tools. Maybe he needs to spend a year with Nieds like Fowler did to get that insight!!!
You probably would get some interest from the Islanders(maybe use Montreal's 2nd rounder) and while you at it you can throw Hiller's negotiating rights in the deal

You buy me a Starbucks and you can have Hiller.

You think Sbisa right now can return more than a 3rd? I don't. I think that's his value - a 3rd, maybe a late 2nd if we're very lucky.
I'd rather keep him at this point for that very reason. Sbisa can at the very worst be a cheaper, younger version of Allen (who skates better). So dump Allen at the end of the season and keep Sbisa until he improves his trade value.

i still feel like we should hold onto sbisa. if all hes gonna bring back is a 3rd or 2nd, no thanks. this last month or so down the stretch has been a pretty good solid sbisa. physical/moved the puck/pretty good defensively. he could pretty easily slot into the 5 or 6 role
