I'm guessing canes gonna demand Willie or Kap + Sandin or Liljegren + a 1st.

I'm guessing they can go frank their hat, then.

Exactly. Which is why I didn’t and still don’t understand that “7M for 20 goals” argument.
- Steven_Seagull


Because Nylander doesn't lead the league in primary assists and hasn't proven he can score more than 20 yet. So the sentiment that he's overpaid is true. He got paid for potential and so far he isn't bringing it.

would probably end up somewhere in the middle, but Willie alone won't cut it
- 21peter

On potential, sure. Im sure dubas could sell it.
Willie plus is overpaying for hamilton.

Zaitsev's 43 giveaways and only 3 takeaways is somewhat unique

Irrelevant. Both Cherry and Fake only mentioned goals as a criticism for the contract. Hence my Marner comment.

Whether they said 20 goals or 60 points, he's still overpaid.

Yes, really.

7 million is payment for potential. But if he doesn't play to it (he hasn't), he's overpaid.

Bad year, St. Louis is a bad team, he has 1 year left on his deal and the price for Karlsson. Maybe he's not too far off. GMs make mistakes all the time.

If he remains a 60 point player then 7 is fine. Not a steal, just meh. My barometer for an overpayment is Zaitsev.
