See...this **** is insane.
56 total NHL games played and a little over .6 pts per game along side some of the best players in the world. There's no way in hell this guy deserves anything in the ballpark of 4.5 million and 4 years.
I'd honestly side with eva unit zero on keeping Hudler for whatever ridiculous amount he said Hudler deserved than pay anything near that for Brunner. The dude could still completely fail as an NHL player.
edit: excuse me if you mean $4.5m OVER 4 years, that's not realistic but I wouldn't complain.
Why are you acting like .6 ppg is bad? That's about what Franzen's career average is and he gets paid 4 million a year. Have to remember that people that score more goals than assists (Franzen, Brunner) typically are worth more money.
.6 ppg over an entire 82 game season is 50 pts. Only 100 players did that during the last full season. Guys who scored between 50-55 pts that season equivalent to .6 ppg that season were:
50- Hudler, Doan, Ladd
51- Grabovski, Fisher
52- Plekanec, Burrows
53- Statsny, Heatley
^^^^
Those guys all currently make 4 million or more and put up .6 ppg, so it's not like it is far-fetched.
Also Brunner only spent like the first chunk of the season with Dats and Z then he went down the 3rd line.
The guy produced pretty well this year and while I don't feel comfortable giving him 4 million or something like that, he definitely deserves between 2.75-3.5 million IMO.
