Thread: Lots of Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboJoe</b></div><div>they're giving us the 2nd tho</div></div>

Absolute bruh moment, my apologies. My IQ today is apparently lower than Evander's number. No issues.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboJoe</b></div><div>that's a fair price for Rutta, and while Galchenyuk did only play a few games he's averaged around half a point per game in all his seasons so I think it's fair</div></div>

I would just rather give Galchenyuk a prove it sort of deal like Labanc's. I could see him taking something like a 1 x 1.5 to a 1 x 2.5 just to prove himself. His numbers haven't been awful for sure, but I'm really not sure he's the real deal. He's a good player with a nasty shot, okay playmaking and an okay 200 foot game when he's on it, but he hasn't been that player since 2016-17. He's lost his confidence and has been a nightmare defensively lately. He could definitely step it up again, and I'd be happy if he did, but taking that risk isn't the best idea imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JumboJoe</b></div><div>you think? I mean he's decent now but his contract could be really bad down the road</div></div>

value in the future matters less than now.

since 15-16, Couture has 1.08 P/GP in 60 games (pretty damn good sample size), that's the highest in the league above 25GP
(Mackinnon 1.12 P/GP in 25GP, Leon Draisaitl 1.29 P/GP) in 17GP)
And despite his high point totals, he is still a very reliable 2-way center.

Sure his value would be higher if his contract ran for 4 more years. But some people would have you drink the kool-aid that no team would take Couture because he is getting paid a lot far down the line. If you are in the middle of competing, you are going to be much more focused on building a contending team this year (short-term) rather than your teams finances in 5 years.
