I would not cross that 2.34 threshold of third round pick for Bourque.

I mean that's what Holloway was let go for. Has Bourque done so much to think that you should give up a 2nd round pick and a premium salary? Maybe he takes off in the second part of the playoffs...like Holloway did last year. But if he's still a healthy scratch....Imagine if Treliving had not only ponied up the second but also given Lazar 3 million when he made that deal? At this point Bourque could pop...but do you want to bet 4.68 for two years and find out he's more Lazar?

One team paints themselves into a corner last year and get's beat up with offer sheets...now everyone is hot to give up decent draft capital for some other teams underused commodity. I don't think we'll see value in an offersheet for like 10 years as teams will not forget last summer.
