Boone

Very fair offer for Boone IMO, but he's still unavailable/not being moved. Even under a new GM, I don't think ownership would allow it.

Why do I keep seeing all these crazy overpays for Boone Jenner...am I missing something? I can't imagine a 40 point scorer (average) is worth remotely that much.

Not trying to be a smart ass or anything but how come Boone Jenner is valued so highly? I feel like I'm missing something. If the Sabres truly offered that for him I feel like CBJ would HAVE to take that no?

He's pretty much a unicorn. He's not much of a point producer but he's good at faceoffs and can play literally anywhere in a forward lineup as needed. He plays just as well with Johnny Gaudreau as he does with Mathieu Olivier. He's team captain and holds the franchise record for games played. Columbus as a franchise doesn't exactly have a lot of highlights, and a reputation for being a place guys don't want to play so the fact Jenner keeps signing undermarket deals to stay means something. Plus add in the fact everyone from Jenner himself to the front office to ownership doesn't want to move him... it would take an egregious overpay to convince them.

I do think it's a big overpay but from what Columbus fans and media say about what he's worth this is a package that would make them think at least. I think he's a good fit for Buffalo so I can stomach giving that much up
