Value of: Anders Lee (50% Retained)

[impaaaaaact]

Anders Lee:

- is signed through next year for 7M, so we're talking 3.5.
- seemed like he was on the decline after his knee injury, but seems to have been reinvigorated by a combination of Roy and an Adam Oates skating camp.
- is on pace for 270 shots this season, 30% more than his prime.
- has 3 points already today, putting him on a 25ish goal/60ish point pace.
- is a 6'3 230lb captain who has never gotten to the SC but went to the ECF twice.
- is a winger but he takes a lot of draws, and has a 47% career percentage at the dot.
- will fight
- runs a Kan Jam tournament to raise money for cancer research every summer on Long Island - they raise about 200k each year, which has lead to him winning the King Clancy award.
- has a 15 team no trade list.

Seems like an obvious fit for the Hughes line (and he wouldn't even necessarily have to move), but would hate to play against him so many times a year. Minnesota gets tossed around a lot because that's where he's from, and maybe that finally makes sense. Wondering what you all think his value is with the retention.

I also hear he walks the dog at 6am so his wife can drink her morning coffee before she has to get the baby up. Id pay extra for that....

a lot of teams prioritize experienced high character players, and they tend to go for a premium at the deadline

alot of people waste time bragging about their high school superlatives when they are in their 30's and it mostly don't matter anymore if you got voted "best buns"

not a lot of hockey fans waste time commenting on deadline trade acquistions when their team hasn't won a series in almost two decades but I guess you're a special breed

take away the king clancy line if you want, the other 8 lines are about him as a player. can't see the sabres being a player for the reason stated above (perennially being a bad hockey team) but feel free to shoot your shot
