What would we even pay him? Not being sarcastic. By next season he might not even be a 3rd liner, but he can still score on the PP. But then how much better is he on the PP than Guentzel and what's the $ value on that?Could they potentially buy him out? Wonder if he’d sign back here for a team friendly contract to play a limited role.
It really might be somewhere in the 2m neighborhood. Maybe not under a higher cap. I just mean, if most of his scoring is coming on the PP, a large percentage of those goals are just goals somebody else would have scored. (Like if Stamkos could score 15 on the PP still, but we remove Guentzel, who can score 15 too).
