for 11 seasons, but that feels like it’s coming to an end this offseason. Will teams overpay for his grit and championship pedigree? It’s certainly possible if Evolving Hockey’s contract projection is to be believed, which would put Killorn in the neighborhood of $6 million per season.
Maybe some will be allured by his 28 goals and 65 points last season, and to his credit he did score 2.4 points per 60 at five-on-five. But that feels like it has more to do with his star-studded linemates than it does with him.Coming off his worst season it’s hard to justify paying Patrick Kane $7 million which is what he likely commands on a new deal based on his pedigree.
Offensively, he’s a problem for the team he plays for and that likely only gets worse as the 34-year-old goes deeper into his 30s. Staal himself is still an efficient five-on-five scorer, but relative to teammates he doesn’t create a lot of chances. He’s great off the forecheck and that works wonders defensively, there’s just not a lot of oomph to those plays.
