If you're picking 25th-31st, the picks barely factor in. Guys at that range usually don't make it and when they do it takes longer for them to start providing value.

I don't think the issue is the picks, or the money. If it was just that it would be obvious that we should sign Matthews.

The issue is that it raises the costs for your other players too. What does Dubois ask for if Matthews gets $15m - is he half the player? And you should be prepared to have your RFAs raided in return. I'd make sure to have Dubois, Werenski, Anderson, and Murray all extended before I went after Matthews.

I see your point. I'm not sure though it is a logical argument for a player to say I'm worth half of Matthews or McD but I'm sure an agent will. Jarmo will argue for comparatives against compable players.

As a practical matter unless Jarmo can get PLD & Andy re-signed July 1 or thereabouts a Matthews offer sheet may have to go first.
