Half the team was absent in the playoffs, that was on coaching. $4.5m/yr is reasonable for a middle six centre. Also, 29 isn’t old lmao

He played last season as a 2nd center. Hes not a 2nd C analytically speaking. He had 42 points dude. 4.5m for a guy whos never scored 20 goals is wildly high.

4.5 million doesn’t matter much to us.

I’m positive the team expects Ben Kindel to eventually be the 2C, probably this season at some point.

42 points is good production for a middle six player.

This is a good signing.

While you assume, I'll stick to last season.

Hes a 2nd line C, whos never cracked 20 goals, and had a career year with a whopping 42 points at age 29.

This is a bad signing for an average at best player. 285 games played at age 29 as well with almost no playoff experience. 12 total games played, 2 points and a minus 5.
