Imagine thinking Panarin is only worth a 2nd 3rd and 4th lol

Likewise, why are the Flyers giving anything up for the 'privilege' of Lucic even on retained salary?

You'll need to package something decent with him (and probably retain more salary) to move him.

Underpay for Panarin, overpay for Parayko. I seriously doubt Lucic will be moved in-season, more likely after July 1st (when his next bonus is due) and with 50% retention. This way the receiving team is only on the hook for $2M per year.

What do you guys figure a player that has all but guaranteed he won’t resign with his current team and wants to be on a big city franchise is worth? I think that’s about all Columbus can hope for, the teams that could sign him won’t give up assets when they’ll be in a bidding war anyway. Panarin’s a rental for every team except NY, LA kind of teams

A 400 year old rick nash got more than this, so did martin freaking hanzal

You mean Hanzal with half his salary retained, White, a 4th round pick, and Nash also half retained got more then that. I think Nash’s return had more to do with the cap dumps NY took on
