Thread: Phil goes home?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>meull</b></div><div>Minnesota is no longer a retirement home for aging vets. Remember when we had Vanek? Kessel experiment would end in a similar result. The Wild are looking to get younger and faster, not grab someone who fits exceptionally well on the Pens but is questionable with unknowns like not having 2 of the best centers in the world to play with. Bad trade from the Minnesota side 100%, more value my ass.</div></div>

Phil is a tad bit better than Vanek lol, hes only 30, hes stupid fast, and he produces away from Sid and Geno on his own line with Sheahan before Brassard arrived, don't just assume everyone's numbers are bloated from the big two. He has insane numbers with less than superstar centers (Bozak, Sheahan, Brassard)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>biglite351</b></div><div>Rust - I view it as the opposite, having been snake bitten by Sheary's contract I think that Rutherford will be offering considerable less than Sheary got. Plus, in Sheary's contract year he has 23g 53pts, Rust is 13/38 (though more useful away from the puck). 3X$2.25M maybe, 2x$2.0M possible.

Oleksiak - No reason to give him over $1.5M even on multi-year deal. he is a dependable 3rd pair guy, but doesn't do anything specifically well. 2 or 3 @ $1.3M.

Sheahan - He is a 4C that can play 3C short term if there are injuries. The Pens can qualify him, but they don't need to. They can offer whatever they want. 13g 45 pts over the last 2 year, 7g 23pt average. Blah offense, good D, solid FO. They should offer 3x$2M. Don't forget, Detroit dumped him for a 3rd, and he didn't do too much to prove that to be a wrong move.</div></div>

Rust will get that I promise. He has that intangible factor that coaches and GM's love. He is significantly more valuable than Sheary ever was to the staff regardless of points. The cap is going up, he'll get paid.
