I think anywhere from 2.75 - 3.25 is fair for Tony. Do I think the Canucks pay it? Honestly, depends how the contracts for Toffoli and Markstrom shape. Those are the top two priorities. If they come in on good deals? Definitely. If they're abit high? I think Stech is a sacrifice that has to be made and we go on the cheap with young guys to see what we have.
Edit- There is a misconception that you can build for the future while going all in now. It doesn't work by trading assets. If the goal is to win a Cup then you build for the future by drafting well with what you get. That's what made Detroit so formidable in the 90s and 2000s. They made their high and late round draft picks work. Any futures you trade Gaudreau for will only help the team after the current window is shut, especially if they're picks. If you are signing Hall to try and keep a window open, you move Gaudreau or Monahan in a hockey deal to fill another weakness.
Edit - Hah, Bingo doesn't know how to use his own forum. Loser!
Edit 2- Booo! Leave your mistake for the world to see, you coward!
