He is overpaid in the sense he's paid like a top five goalie in the reg. season and he isn't but I'd still rather have him in the playoffs then most.

Pro-rating stats to 82 games for a guy like Ruutu is pointless.

It also ignores his decline. What was his 82-game pace last year?

Fact: Ruutu has 34 real points since the start of last season, a span in which the Carolina Hurricanes have played 97 games.

Chad LaRose has 33.

Still a chance Ruutu gets back on the ice before Chad passes him.

21g 29a per 82 with the Canes

For a physical guy, that hits and is good in front of the net, again, probably worth closer to 4 than 5. But when he's on the ice, I think he's been playing, over the past few years, at a 4 million+ level.

5 million if he were in the lineup tonight next to Jordan instead of Bowman or Larose would feel like a steal!
He was a no-show at the start of last season for a couple months when they were digging their hole, and wouldn't even hit. Jokinen of all people was playing with more physicality and effort . His apologists were using the "he just got married" excuse, as I recall.
