It's a good thing he's got guys like Eichel to play with, because he's not the driving force on any line. Been riding Tavares' coat tails for a while now.

Anything more than $6 million would be too much.

to be fair, Okposo at 7x6 is better than Lucic at 7x6. Still bad, but not Lucic bad.

6 million isn't that much for a 60 point guy. But still a big contract.

Not sure he'll still be a 60 point guy without Tavares. That's the problem.
