They let Claude Giru
Dude is a 33 y/o 0.8 PPG two-way center with an 8M cap hit. Playoff performer, but hasn’t seen a series in 4 years.
Closest comp would probably be Claude Giroux at the end of last season. Trade restrictions, 2-way guy, even a team Captain.
Which would be your return for a deadline rental. A late first, maybe some prospect swaps and some random pick in a couple years.
But Couture’s contract also has 3 years left and at a rate well above what Claude got in UFA. Once you factor in the cap dump, the contract, the movement restrictions, you are looking at Steven Lorentz and a 3rd.
I don’t normally agree with you but I fully do in this case. Saying Couture’s value is at an all time low is insane.
