A lot of Rust’s value comes from his contract. And I’m a big Rust fan. But just like Hyman, let’s see how loved and valuable he is when he signs a new deal.
Hyman is a perfect comp. Same age, very similar styles, and Rust has even outperformed Hyman the last 2 seasons.
I can tell u this; No player that’s been a PPG player or close to a PPG player the last two seasons is signing a 3.5M deal. Especially a gritty winger like Rust, that literally every team is claimering for.
it shouldn't take a 1sdt but I dont wanna get yelled at. look at what guys like buchnevich got and it wasn't even a rental
Ohh, Rust even as a rental at the deadline, would bring a late 1st.
But I can’t see the Pens trading him. You hold onto the do everything, gritty, wingers if u can. He plays Hextall and Burke’s style too.
I think Leafs made a mistake letting Hyman go. But 5.5M per on a long term deal is a bit much. And it would be hard for the Leafs to match that too.
But I think Rust will take a bit of a hometown discount if he stays with the Pens. He’s not signing another 3.5 per deal that’s for sure. I think if he resigns in Pgh it will be around 4.25M-5M per. Probably closer to 5M.
Yea it's going to take a lot more than a bunch of spare parts and a late 1st to get a great top 6 winger who will count for less than 2M against the cap

It'll take more than a 1st lmao. You can't use the Buchnevich situation as a comparable at all. The Rangers just have a sudden hard on for grit and they didn't want to pay him his new contract.
Not even remotely the same scenario (should it happen) here

idk Reinhart only got a 1st and a decent prospect and he isn't a rental
