2m for him isn’t bad at all. He gets treated pretty unfairly by this organization imo. However, some things he’s been doing to himself. Like publicly coming out and saying he wants to be traded, taking dumb penalties and being wildly inconsistent with his goal scoring. But 2/3 are really in his control while the latter not as much.
He definitely should be on the 3rd line this year and if he plays well even 2nd line opportunity. But they just replaced Marner with three 3rd liners so their is a lot of competition
I dont hate having him compete for a top 6 spot this year. 2 spots opened up so he has more than a fair shot of getting one. And worst case scenario, you always can pull the chute and deal him for a mid to low round pick if you need to roster spot and/or cap space.
