teenagemutantninjahertl Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How much is #16 worth? I think the best comparison on the Blackhawks roster is Andrew Shaw. Shaw is getting $2.0M, 2 years younger, and provides more offense. Kruger, though, does all of the little things. He kills penalties, wins faceoffs. He is offensively gifted, sort of like a Sean Couturier in Philly, who is 3 years younger and makes $1.75M. I think Couturier has a higher offensive ceiling, as evident by his point production. So how much is Kruger worth? Definitely not $2.0 due to his low offensive production on the fourth line, but more than $1.0M for your average 4th liner. Is it a number like $1.75M? I think so. Anything north of $2.0M could lead to another RFA traded out of town. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yave1964 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 @teenagemutantninjahertl 1.5 to 1.8 sounds about right. He does all the little things, is a spear carrier who still could put up a few more points as the years go by. I don't think Couturier is a good comparison as Couturier is a 3rd liner who a lot of people argue should move up to a top six role to find out if he has another gear. I think Boyle in Tampa is a better example, excepting the age. Very comparable players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the 2 mil a year. He deserves it, but compared to similar players, he might not get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
