really? 4 Million for a guy that puts up numbers below what Burrows does and gets half that?
Leino made 800k last year and last year was his first full NHL Season, and statistically his best points per game..with 53 pts in 81 games.
I can't see Leino getting that much cake. I stand to be corrected, but I'm not paying a guy like that 4 mill. His contemporaries this year for points per game and such that do play a bit of special teams (Leino's a beast of a PK guy) are Michael Grabner (3 mill cap hit with a one year track record) Patrick Berglund (2.25 Mill cap hit) PA Parenteau (1.25 mill hit) Jussi Jokinen (1.7 Mill Cap hit)
The established guys in his point range are:
Nathan Horton (4.0)
Erik Cole (2.9)
Brad Boyes (4.0)
Renee Bourque (3.33)
I wouldn't pay more that 3.2 for him.

No way Jose.
He's an RFA. You'd have to trade Ballard, Schneider, Hodgson, and a few 1st rounders for him, then pay him 6.5-7.5 Schmill per year.
You can't offer-sheet him as the CLUB filed arbitration on him, which means they have to accept the deal the arbitrator gives them, and it's a one year deal, at the end of which he becomes a UFA.

...and if you don't know, now you know.
Nor would I JBN, but in a UFA class that is quite thin, one of the 30 GM's out there are going to over value this guy, who would be a great fit on most second lines - and pay him too much. He'll get at least 4 million. No question.really? 4 Million for a guy that puts up numbers below what Burrows does and gets half that?
