<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>I don't know how people can see what Foligno, Barclay Goodrow, and Blake Coleman cost and not think Giroux is worth a good prospect and a 1st. Its inconceivable he isn't worth twice as much as those guys. I know its different style of play. Those guys were tough forwards, but Giroux is bolstering someones top 2 lines with offensive production. I don't know if he's being undervalued by fans because of how poorly the flyers are playing, but Giroux is quite literally the only one keeping them somewhat competitive game to game this year. Singlehandedly. No one wants to overpay for a rental, but you are asking a team to trade the face of their franchise for the last decade, still playing well. Then if the flyers retain half to make the cap easier to maneuver for the remainder of the year... only enhances value.</div></div>

Coleman wasn't a rental so that doesn't count. As for Giroux's rental value, nobody will move a blue chip prospect but he should get a return similar to either Hall or Iginla. It should also be noted that Pavelski and Hertl are on the same market and have similar value.

Thread: CHUCKY ISNT DONE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mintyfresh</b></div><div>I was thinking about them taking some JVR retention as well so each team gets a little bit of a bail out in that area. You are probably right though! I paid too much for that retention, but thats minor changes. I think the fact that it is multiple seasons got in my head, but yea 2 3rds is too much.</div></div>

If we're sending them a 3rd to also retain a little bit on JVR (hell even like $500k), I'm about that. I'm pretty sure there's limits on the amount of individual retentions a team can do though, and that would seem like a no go for ARI. Maybe ARI ups the retention on Tarasenko to $2M (for two 3rds) and you guys do the 500k retaining on JVR. You get Tarasenko at $5.5M, we get JVR at $6.5M. Would still cost the same against your cap.
