Way more than I would be willing to give despite him being a fantastic defensive #3. At the prime age for a contender with an open window and fits the mold of being able to skate and pass. Unfortunately if we're going to use those assets we may as well try and fill specific needs on the back end like a RH shot, bigger body in a top 4 position.
Another possibility is Byfuglien. Winnipeg has Schiefele, Trouba, Clitsome and Ladd to give contracts after next season along with Byfuglien. Yet Trouba and Myers are better to keep going forward based on age and potential/performance. They could keep Byfuglien but it would be a luxury at that point that they might not be willing to spend for.
