Okay, I take back my I don't think Niedermeyer is worth the max. The reason being is that it looks like Pronger will be leaving St. Louis and it looks like he will get the max (or close to it). If Pronger can get close to the max then I think Niedermeyer can get it. I guess I find it weird that the players being rumored as getting max deals are defensemen.
