He is a rotational center that plays low 20 minutes in games and got exposed in the playoffs. I don't see him going for more than full MLE in open market and we paid significantly more than that. I'm not saying he doesn't provide quality depth where we have major injury concerns, but he would be a distant third for my choice of who I would want at the 5 in a playoff game, and that is not worth nearly 20 mil a year. I like it better if he gets traded, but the trade kicker gives him some power over that.
That is because your valuation of Gaff is WAY under how everyone else values him.
