Pasta is going to get at least 7 x $11,000,000 on the open market, You're at least $2,000,000 short on him.

He is short on everything
Short on money for the players he signed
The players he traded have negative value

Yup Varlamov and Mayfield get more as well.

No GM is taking on Bailey without at least a 2nd round pick coming back.

Varlamov aint getting more lol.

Islanders fans are way too hard on Bailey, he does not have equal value to Andrew Ladd lol. He has net zero value, maybe leaning a little negative. He still has solid production, plays special teams and is a veteran leader. Only issue is cap space.

I hate him, but we gotta be realistic

I could see pastrnak getting a contract taht starts with a 9 in boston, because of the extra year and because it just seems like every time Sweeney signs one of his own guys you’re left muttering, “thats oddly low.”

Open market? It’s 11.

Let's be realistic, Ladd got traded before players making a lot lost all value

Nemeth making 2.5M for 2 years costed NYR a pair of 2nd RD picks
Bjorkstrand went for a 3rd and a 4th !!!!!!!!!!!
Sean Monahan costed a 1st rd pick to move !!!!!!!
Pacioretty was a cap dump, they had to package a young RHD in Coghlen to move him
Petry got move for a bad contract with Matheson
Brent Burns with 2.7M retained returned a low 3rd

Bailey isnt a bad player, he is just overpaid and would cost assets to move
