<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yinz3r</b></div><div>JVR is going make over 5 million. some team will overpay him he could make 6 + million a year. and rust for only $900,000 ? undervalued. sheahan who you also undervalued is making 2 million and he had a good season with us, he's getting a little raise. pens aren't brining reaves back especially at over a million just to sit on the bench. now the trades, arizona isn't giving up OEL for anything less than a star player, i think leafs are okay with their goalie situation and i doubt they'd give up a RHD which they clearly need. i could careless where hunwick goes but i don't think LA takes the cap hit, would be better off trading him to a team trying to reach the cap floor like arizona</div></div>

Those are all fair points. If JVR gets 6+ that will be a bad contract. I think a lot of GM's are a lot smarter and play things more safe now than give out big contracts to guys like JVR. With Rust I think the hometown discount will come into play. He is playing top 6 minutes for us because for whatever reason him and Geno work well together. But because he is playing top 6 minutes doesn't make him a guy you can pay like a top 6 forward. perhaps $900K is on the low end.
Maatta is a star player. Olli being in the shadow of Tanger might make him try to create more or play outside of who he is. When Letang was out last playoff run besides Schultz Maatta was our guy.
