Quoting: MNBassman
I think you are completely overvaluing Addison’s market value and investing way too much hope in Foligno’s immense decline reversing itself.
Addison's in a position where he's good but not quite outshining what most teams have internally already.
If he broke out a little more , its different
But such is not the case here.
I mean i like him and i'd invest in him in this deal
But i wouldnt pay a ransom for him as Defensively he's still finding his game
I mean if we were talking 3rd line Winger a this cap with his production i think most teams would pay MIN what they invest in him a 2nd round pick and a prospect maybe(like a Simmoneau or Fairbrother)
But we're talking a RD who only average's 14-16 minutes
2/3rds of his Production on PP is impressive
But Hoffman scored 49.5% of all his points before MTL on PP
Players defined by special teams are subject to a ton of variables from Coaches to Player combinations.
A bad year can turn into a spiraling career fast.
If he had 40 points and 20+ minutes i'd pony up for sure
But 29 points with 18 on PP and only 16 minutes is a rough sell.
If he hit or blocked shots regularly then thats maybe something we'd still gamble on
But there's too much work to be done similar to Petry before MTL
