Value of: Jared Spurgeon

[AKL]

35 year old RHD with two years left after this one, 7.5M cap hit. Past three seasons he's averaged a 34 point per 82 game pace while being very good defensively.

When he's healthy and on the ice, a true top pairing RD. Obvious downside here is significant injury risk, only played 16 games last year, has missed 15 games so far this season.

He has a 10 team no-trade clause, but let's pretend your team isn't on the list.

Open to any type of asset (roster players, prospects, picks, whatever), but preference would probably be forwards, forward prospects, or draft picks, as our D is becoming a bit of a logjam (hence trading Spurgeon). Open to retaining, but with two years on his deal, it would really have to make sense for us.

How much would you offer for this player in the offseason, summer of 2025?

No one is. Not with his recent injury history(bad back) and significant cap unless we eat half.

And if we are eating half, why don't we just keep him and enjoy his excellent play when healthy or LTIR him if he completely can't play.

...the Duct Tape cap hit is another $7.5 mill per just to hold him together for half a season...so Habs pass...
