He scored 34 goals last season and is pacing for 35 this year - not bad production across two completely different teams. Also brings Cup winning experience. He should be a nice addition for some team.
Toffoli has proven that no matter where he goes, he produces. Habs included with the last two years production as well. Not the quickest, but reads the play at a very high level

Realistically who is left thats a buyer?

Van
Bos
Det???
TBL
LAK

Don't think Detroit or Tampa are really in the mix.

Jets and Vegas should be added to the list. Toronto has been rumored, though that's tough with the cap. Rangers as well, though their offer would have to blow away the others and they seemed more focused on Guentzel at the moment (rightfully so).

Toffoli's a good player, but not that good. You ask the casual fan about Toffoli and they probably would think you're talking about some dessert at an Italian restaurant.
Ask the same fan if Guentzal rhymes with pretzel!

I mean Toffoli's production now is like double what it was back then
It's not that he isn't worth more. It's that Blake could've kept him, enjoyed 4 years of increased production in his prime years (instead of watching him do it for other teams) and then not have to give up at least a 1st round pick to get him back on the verge of turning 32.

Elite shot, plays a gritty game but not a huge guy to go around hitting everyone. He's lost speed but it hasn't killed his game yet. Could be a major issue if he was to be resigned for term.
Thanks man. I was curious because to me, he was never an amazing skater so as long as his ability to get his shot off is still there, he should be a good get then
