I’m basing Hartman getting traded due to what I think his contract demands will be… I’d absolutely sign him to the same contract he has now, but he’s going to want low 1C ish money ($5+ aav) if that’s what he’s going to play here… This is his last big contract opportunity, he already gave us a haircut on his last deal…
Reavo is a 4th liner, I wouldn’t complain about signing him to a 2 x $1aav deal… that’s just $150k more than any Iowa scrub or journeyman UFA vet we’d sign instead…. His locker room presence is as valuable as a few more goals some other player could score, especially with Dumba gone from the locker room… That will be important with the likely growing pains this team will have the next few years… I think another team will offer more for him though…
How about Jamie Benn leaving the arena without talking to the media??? That’s not normal, especially for a team Captain…
