Tanev didn’t return a 1st yet you think Savard, who’s significantly worse and is overpaid for next season, does?

You think a #6/7 dman in Kovacevic gets a 2nd?

I doubt you get anything for a guy who has 7 points in 48 games this year

Canes pass. Kovacevic does nothing, ESPECIALLY at that price.

Instant decline. We want nothing to do with Matheson again considering all the bad times we had with him.

Like what?
Dude's such a calm mellow dude
I dont know who could fight with him off ice

A Defensman takes time to develop
Ron Hainsey did work out her but did in CAR i believe it was.
It happens and we Got Petry because it happens to everyone

I mean even TML brought back Schenn
Weirder things have happened

He offers what Lybushkin does more or less with similar stats with each having the edge in a similar amount of offsetting categories
3rd round pick and a 6th round pick to get Lybushkin at a similar cap as Kovacevic

Seems like that would be the logical price tag at bare minimum for the 6'5 223lbs Defensive Defensman
At least a few teams will be interested at that price im sure
