Those are pretty subpar returns for both Jack and Sam

That would be a nightmare return for Eichel. You need to get main piece back in a deal for Eichel and none of those guys are that, even if the overall value is high.

Not enough for Reinhart either. Both those teams have prospects and assets for days, you have to do better.

Risto probably not worth that much, same with Miller

I wouldn't do that as the Sens. Too much for a guy who only wants to sign on a contender and will likely walk in a year.

True, I think it's a loose-loose then

I'd pass on that. 12.3% of the cap in one guy with health concerns. People saying that is not enough- who has gotten anywhere near that return?
