<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Would love to hear ur opinion on all of the UFAs that are going to get similar contracts in FA this offseason. Are those also too chancy? Or is it cause Coots had back surgery that looked like it never even happened this year? What happens when Marchessault and Stamkos get paid? Or Tarasenko or Kane? Coots may not be as offensively gifted as any of those guys but do any of them have a Selke trophy?</div></div>

There certainly is a big difference in free agency isn't there. In this post, the Canucks had to give trade 4.9m Garland for 6m (retained) Couts. What's the point for the Canucks. Most Dmen are really chancy when their contracts run into mid 30s,. Somewhat the same for most forwards, but one coming off back surgeory it's even more of a gamble

By the way, this season Tarasenko...got a one year contract for 5m. Kane coming off an injury 2.75m for one year. If Couterier what would he get as UFA this season.....a one year contract?

I think a guy like Marchessault will be overpaid by a team that has cap and needs goal scoring...maybe Montreal at 7m. Stamkos could get more, but think he looking at the right situation, 7m tops.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Let’s be real. Coots would still be a really good 2C. He looked really good up until February when he hit a wall which is pretty expected for playing 20+ minutes a night after missing 2 entire years. His only injury this year was a minor knock to his shoulder so he didn’t aggravate his back. He’s a great player and with the right retention would absolutely have a market.

This team is based in 2025-2026, if Coots plays the full 2024-2025 season with no major injuries and looks to be back to his old self there will be no injury questions with him being 2 years removed from being out.

If that happens and the Flyers are looking to move him next summer it won’t be if anyone is interested it will be how many teams are interested and what is the retention number that will make them interested.

U guys say Coots has no market then everyone makes 100 teams a day trying to trade Kampf and Reaves to any team on earth lol, a bit hypocritical don’t you think?</div></div>

U guys? If you read my posts, I've said countless times that M NTC Kampf is not tradable. Also Leafs keep Reaves as he doesn't hurt the cap if he is demoted to Marlies
Couts. 6m X 6 for soon to be 32 year old. is too chancy a contract., I differ with your opinion. IMO he's hitting the very soon.
