McDonagh and Stephan for Nate...Enough?
Added to this and an AVs fansaid it was too much.
But if NY wants to retain its young core -- and it must, keeping Skjei, Miller, Kreider, Zib and Hayes is worth more than a single talented add --- then even more overpayment restricted to such currency is only option.
Disgusting. Wouldn't trade McDonagh alone for that.
He is worth top top dollar, esp on his contract - not cheap, but not overpriced given what he produces and his upside locked up long term.
People can quibble about MacK's shot, scoring, lack of support, does he or does he not make other teammates better, etc.
What is not controvertible is his speed.
And that is why, up to a point, if it is currency acceptable to me, I will overpay heavy for MacK.
Kreider and MacK with the right C would be beyond awesome and truly unstoppable.
Of course, we would need to ditch coach AV so we would not have him screwing this up with a gazillion line changes...
