On the open market, I'm not sure what Maroon will make. If he was open to any team, I think he might be able to fetch a $5M - $5.5M contract. 27 goal scorers in their late twenties don't come cheap. Patrick Eaves signed for less after a great season but he is almost 4 years older I think. Not sure I'd compare Maroon to his Duck days. He put in a lot of work last summer to become leaner and faster. I think I read somewhere that is his plan again this summer. He is motivated and if he puts in another good season scoring in the 25-30goal range he will definitely get $5 plus, if he wants to. Now, if he wants to give STL a hometown discount, I think $4M will represent that. Is that worth it for STL? Not sure. I think if he dropped below $4M to around $3.5M any team would be insane not to do it.
Just spit-balling here, but I think his goal-age comparisons are Hoffman, Wheeler, Palmieri, Nick Foligno, Ladd, and Lucic, he outscored them last season and they're mostly in the $4.5M to $6M range.
