Quoting: nics6ix
There is 0 chance a 45 point player who is now turning 30 is worth that. That would be a heavy overpay. Especially that he only has 1 year left on his contract. This value in this AGM is not accurate, but the suggestion you gave is a big overpayment
It is not an overpay at all. Look at recent history...
JT Miller, 47 point player - traded for 1st+
Jason Zucker, 42 point player - traded for 1st+
Blake Coleman, 36 point player - traded for 1st+
JG Pageau, 42 point player, traded for 1st+
Kevin Hayes, 44 point player, traded for 1st+
Also...Kasperi Kapanen, 44-point player, traded for 1st+
The market dictates the price...someone will certainly offer B-prospect + 1st (or good prospect + later pick) for a 30-goal scorer.
