UFA C/LW Valtteri Filppula
Valtteri Filppula played this past season for the Detroit Red Wings.
Filppula would fall into the category as a top 6 forward with a decent skill-set. He has decent size , works hard, has a good compete level while being versatile playing wing or center.
Valteri Filppula has played under a good coach in Mike Babcock. He comes from a good system and that’s always something to consider.
Filppula is coming off a 5 year 15 million dollar contract and will be looking for a pay bump.
The problem I see right away with Valtteri Filppula is he is going to want to get paid for his 66 point season 2 years ago but his overall body of work doesn’t justify it.
This is why I don’t like July UFA season. Good but not great players get over paid because teams and their fan base feel pressure to participate.
