No offense to the player because he's had some great seasons here, but he's more of a guy that has scored 50 points than a guy this is a 50 point defenseman. Those years are outliers.
I just don't see the benefit to the club to sign him to even a reasonable term/number, whatever that is (can't fathom anything less than 7x7). He's regressing and we don't need him occupying a spot until 2032 when he will be 36 that could be used by Parekh, Bruztewicz, Mews, Morin etc.
Sadly the return is pointing to a deadline or pre deadline move that probably at best nets the team a late first or second and blah prospect at best. If he has another bad season it could be even worse.
