Buyout(s) & FAs

I expect a similar return for Polak as TO got for Winnik last year.

Considering that Winnik is basically the definition of a depth player I think that's more or less the ballpark. I don't know how "good" a return that would be but if you'd be happy with it, I suppose that's up to you.

There's no immediate need to buy him out. I would rather have him on the roster than have more dead cap space.

Yep.

I hope you're right because if TO could get a 2nd and a 4th for Winnie, what is Polak worth, or do you think everybody except for stars are depth players?

Again, if McKenzie is right about the soft market and I'm right that there doesn't seem to be the sort of interest in Polak there might have been in other years then I wouldn't necessarily say he's a sure thing to get more than Winnik fetched.

And I'm very comfortable describing bottom pairing defensemen and 3rd/4th line forwards as depth players. There's room between those guys and stars.

There you go an honest to goodness different opinion.
