Trying to extract the most value in a future rebuild

I would love Marchand, the age would be a bit concerning though. I think id rather go for Hall at that point

Yeah he's also coming off a serious hip surgery, so I'd definitely concede that his value might be lower than this a year from now if he declines this upcoming season. Although even a 60-70 point Marchand at $3m will still be worth a lot.

Marchand will miss the first 2 months of the season, So the odds of him putting up 60-70 this season is pretty small. And that's way too much for a 34 year guy coming off double hip surgery. Most players at his age never come back from that period.

Sure, I guess I meant 60-70 point pace. Again I'd definitely admit he might be worth much less than this, it just all depends how he performs this season.

A vast majority of 34 year olds, have never come back after having double hip surgery. Most would up retiring within a year or so.
