The wild fell to 19th after coming in at 6th in last years rankings, largely due to poor values of Foligno, Trenin, Middleton, and Fleury’s contracts, and Gaudreau’s regression relative to his contract value.

Marcus would’ve gotten 3.5 or even 4 mil easily on the open market its more term based than anything
