4M Taylor Hall - 2G 19P, good but not great stats prev 2 years = 2nd+
2.6M Jeff Carter - 8G 19P, 35ish pts prev 2 years = 3rd* +
1.625M Eric Staal - = 3G 10P (32gp), 50+ pts prev 2 yrs = 3rd+
1.375M Foligno - 7G 16P, 35ish pts prev 2 yrs =1st+
Zajac and Palmieri are both in this same ballpark stats wise around 2.5M each combined for a 1st+.
I suppose it shows the impact of AAV, but a couple of guys with Team Canada pedigree seem like ideal adds as proven versatile vets. Glad we managed a similar return for Rittich!
Staal is superb value (though he hasn't done much yet, but they also get more time with him); Carter and the NJD guys are pretty fair; Hall is a bit of a wildcard, but value makes sense relative to cap. Foligno is the worst deal.
1st+3rd+4th for Savard is a little steep, but given the dearth of available RHD, it makes sense with the 1M AAV, and TBL picks more likely to be at the very end of rounds.
