I’d LOVE lee. 40 goals is amazing no matter who you are playing with and he doesn’t have the brand name of a Duchene, Pacioretty, karlsson or the like so I think that can lower his value. He’s likely even cheaper than eberle to get.
That said Lou won’t move him or eberle unless he must. He’s gotta be looking to extend them right now. No way he can lose Tavares this year and then eberle and lee next year. Too much talent drain too fast.
That said, if lee is indeed available I don’t think two second rate prospects and a 2nd get him. 40 goals is 40 goals and it’s not a fluke. He had 34 last year. He’s big and would be hard to handle joining other heavy guys like Kane, Meier and hertl. It would be a lot like the ducks a decade ago. Big fast, skilled, puck possession and wear you down. He’s fit in nicely.
I think the price would have to include a roster player, prospect, and pick. Maybe labanc Roy, and a 1st. Of course if dougie pulled off his magic and got lee without touching any impact roster player, that would be a coup!
