<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bennecon</b></div><div>That’s gunna be the market value for Bert, apparently he’s looking for more. Idk if u watched the playoffs but comparing Barbashev to kerfoot is crazy, he is a much more useful and effective player was great in the playoffs and last year had 60 points in the regular season.

Goalie aren’t ideal but apparently some insiders think vladar will be a starting goalie and apparently Tree likes him, so idk. It’s definitely not good tho.

And Brodie looked like he was slowing down so move off him before he walks.</div></div>

Kerfoot had 51 last year. Barbashev had 60 last year but 45 this year and before last year never had more than 26. Which is the exception? He's been a borderline 4th liner until last year. He's going to be way overpaid

And if that is the asking price on Bertuzzi hard pass.

In the last 3 years

Barbashev 270 gp 58 g 143 pts
Kerfoot 285 gp 40 g 134 pts
Jarnkrok 252 gp 60 g 131 pts

So kerfoot is the worst goal scorer. But they aren't far off from each other overall. Yes barbashev is more physical. And yes he's the better player. But he isn't THAT much better that we should go out of our way to pay him way more for way more term

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Hippy</b></div><div>My feeling is there is more value to be had investing in some of the lesser lights of free agency. Bertuzzi and Barbashev are the headliners and will be overpaid. Connor Brown, Jonathon Toews are far better bangs for the buck. Even Tarasenko is a better bet than the first two because he at least has the pedigree of being a dominant offensive force they do not.

I can understand moving on from Brodie but you are not getting enough for him and you had better be replacing him with something that works. I'm not seeing that in either Schenn or Peeke. If you take him out of the top six you need to be adding someone who does what he does but with more thump.</div></div>

I'm all for being brown back. Loved the guy
