Meh. What are the chances he plays 7 games?
I called a 4rth as ideal a while ago . Keep going 14, 8 , and Byron .

Maximize return - smallish forward in his late 20s. Trend data suggests law of diminishing returns on forwards over 27 (peak at 25-26). Byron is also an elite PKer on a sweet contract - so would a team looking to go all in to win it now (Preds, TBay) pay a premium for an elite specialist whose role on the team would be clearly defined?
Would Byron + 3rd rounder net a 1st rounder or a solid prospect for example?
Not interested in simply dealing Byron for a middling pick, doesn’t serve any purpose

Players tend to be worth more than you expect. That's why i always giggle when people say Max won't get more than one good prospect.

Exactly. If they get a good return, he can be moved. That's a what a rebuild is about.
If not - he's cheap enough to hold onto.

He's probably not going to be worth more than he is right now.
28 year old winger built on speed, how long before he loses a step and thus his main attribute?
No as to the first round pick, and possibly as to the "solid" prospect.
