I’m not saying he’s a great 3C, but he’s a 3C without a doubt. He’s okay defensively and decent offensively. I’d like to see how he does next year where he won’t be horribly overplayed for a most of the season. I mean he’s just a bang average 3C in the end.
Yup Colton is just average. He’s better offensively that defensively, but his real key is his physical mindset. When he can create chaos he can be good. When he can’t, he’s rated easy to beat.
The elite 3Cs who can step into a 2C role are mid 5s. Good 3Cs are 5m. Just what it is now, even if it is kinda insane.Some folks really just have no idea what a 3C is. A lot of people expecting Danault by the sounds of it
Colton is a fine 3C. Not high end, but not low end either. At $4M, we're simply getting what we paid for, good but not great.

No GM would. Everyone knows the prices of centers and the difficulty of filling the roles adequately. We can debate how adequately they are filled here, but CMac made a commitment to this group and will see it through.
Especially considering you aren’t getting a C better than Colton without spending significant assets and/or saving cap. Or just downgrading and creating a big hole down the middle.
Colton is approximately the 60th highest paid center in the league. Strictly by the numbers that's low end 2C, elite 3C salary.Some folks really just have no idea what a 3C is. A lot of people expecting Danault by the sounds of it

Colton is on his deal that controls his first UFA years where he had arbitration rights and had filed for arbitration. You can't compare those to ELCs and deals off ELCs. Just different markets. Along with that, the cap moves. Colton's cap hit was about 4.8%.
Knowledge is knowing that tomatoes are fruit. Common sense is knowing that ketchup isn't a fruit smoothie.
I think this will be a July 1 announcement. No real reason as to why other than PR. It gives a nice press release and something to talk about at the end of the day to build some hype.
Girard has more value to this team than Colton does.
Yeah I agree with that. Manson is the guy you cut loose if push comes to shove, but I doubt that will happen either. At least if they don't get a RD in a trade.
