Clowe could easily get 4.75ish for 5 years on the open market. Maybe more. UFA contracts consistently get undervalued on here before hand.
Would I pay him that much? Probably not. Will Sather? Who knows.
What I do know is that the kind of leadership and toughness Clowe provides is 100% necessary for this team to have success. Can you find that elsewhere for cheaper? If so by all means do that. But spending the 4-5M on soft, perimeter skill is not a solution that is going to help the Rangers win either, IMO. If this season has shown anything it's that there needs to be a balance.
