Pump the brakes. A Vermont Rookie isn't better than Rundblad or Roszival today.
I don't know about that.

20mil? Most he can sign for is 3.75mil (approx.) per year, and he would only get paid a majority of that if he reaches his bonuses. (Other wise it's like 925k/yr).
He could want to get his degree, and play for a contender when he get's out of College. I know it's unlikely that happens, but there's a possibility. Just pointing out how broke that system is.
I don't remember when but didn't we have a debate last summer about NCAA drafting obsession of Stan
After Hayes debacle some of us said we hoped Stan would cut back on NCAA picks. If we lose Paliotta as well then Stan better change his drafting
Or he passes up being #2 selected and gets hurt
Then is drafted in 4th/5th round and never recovers

You can't and shouldn't stop drafting American players. They are constantly being underdrafted. Russians and Collegians.
I think it's fine drafting NCAA players, but you probably need to sign them after their sophomore year, when most of them would probably bite. Even if you think they still need a little more development. Kevin Hayes signing elsewhere is going to haunt us for a long time. He looks ridiculously promising.
Bowman needs to pull out all the stops to sign Paliotta. Buy him a lama, take him to Disney World, become besties with Mike's parents. Whatever it takes to get him to sign.
Hell, bring Kane along to try smooth things over (not like he's doing much at the moment anyways).
I do not want to see us in another Kayes situation.
Why not sign them after there JR year? That would mean you get them 1 year and 4 months before they would become Free agents.

Maybe I am losing my mind but why is there no comp for him (I think I am losing my mind).
I still think he signs with us because I think Stan tells him he will be a Hawk and not a Hog. I would be ok with taking the chance with this going forward next year.
Keith - Seabs
Hammer - Pokka
Johns - Paliotta
