Looking ahead, we’re almost certainly buying out the final two years of Palats contract this offseason, right?
Shame he ended up being such a flop.

19 xGA seems better than 22.19 xGA, no? Seems like the defensive change is being adequately captured.
If we are going to go advanced stat truther already we might want to wait until the evidence actually lines up with your quip.

Probably, but if they wanted to kick around the idea of something like Palat with a very small add (like a 5th?) for Copp I wouldn't hate it.

Just need to wait to see Playoff P again, that's where his contract will look like a steal!

Looks headed in that direction, this is the hit:
I can see the FO deciding that's more desirable than whatever it would cost to dump him, and the buyout hit is not a complete nonstarter.

You joke but you know there's gonna be some weirdos getting this patch put on simply because the players wear them so at least kudos to the team for not charging season ticket holders who actually want it lol
But what if the jersey is autographed? Then I have to buy an old jersey on eBay, go and get the patch put on that jersey, take it home and cut the patch off, and attach it on the autographed version.
Oh wait, what am I talking about. You would just put a piece of duct tape over the autograph, get the patch put on, and then very carefully peel the duct tape back off. Easy peasy.

Palat's salary is going to be difficult to dump. Would have to throw in prospects and picks.
He may play on the fourth line, he's a good forechecker with some grit. He's an overpriced fourth liner that's for certain. However, keep him there until he proves he deserves a promotion. If injuries hit, he could be placed in the top six. Hopefully, when they enter the playoffs that's when he shines.

Keefe is going to keep a leash on them until defense is second nature. Then they can go hog wild offensively again

It's gonna be a thing if they think they can get a more productive players with those savings which I mean, at this rate, probably won't be hard to find
Eating 9 mill in cap space?
How is that not a nonstarter?
If you think Palat is bad, you'll hate what you can get with 1.5 mill a year worth to replace him. (would be more like 3 but then you waste 1.5 mill for another 2 years).
Palat's buyout would cost 9 mill in total cap.
Here are the UFAs wingers
who signed at 1.5 mill or less last year:

It would be an addition by subtraction move, if things continue down this path. And yeah you're borrowing money from future cap basically to get ~2.5m to replace him.
It's the worst case scenario and it's not out of the realm of possibility imo.
