Honestly, how does he look this year? Whenever he did not play with Buff he looked lost, how does he look without Weber?
Pretty solid all-around. He'll never be an elite puck-mover, or even a pretty good one, but he's getting it done. He shouldn't be on the PP, but right now he is on the first unit as the only D.
He just played 28 minutes in a game we got to OT. I'd be happy to re-sign him over the summer, but for now unless the offers for him aren't worthwhile, I think we have to go for picks/kids.
Chiarot, Lehkonen and Evans are probably the only 3 Habs to have played up to expectations every game of the season.
I know Habs fans tend to overrate our assets, but in this case as a complementary player to add solid playoff-tested depth at reasonable cost, a 1st, or some combo of prospect and pick of similar value, seems reasonable, considering what rentals often go for.
I'd bet real money he fetches at least a 2nd and a 3d or equivalent value. My ask from a team like Edmonton would be Bourgault (ie, 1st round prospect) and a 2nd that becomes a 1st if they make the finals.
