Also ranked 32 for points in the league...but we want to make him the highest paid, or very close to highest paid player in the league...why?
This so much. We don't need to be paying him $10.5+ for 7 years if he's getting 60-70 points a year, isn't very good in the faceoff circle, and isn't doing much if he's not scoring. Having 15%+ of your cap tied up in a guy like that when we need to sign our Nylanders, Marners, Riellys, 1sts from this year and next, a goalie, and if we make any big moves for a young player (Trouba for an example - not that I think we do for him) can quickly become a problem. I'd love to have him on the team for his actual value ($8-8.5) but that's just dreaming.
