They insisted on keeping him in the lineup in his initial year for reasons I can’t understand... and now his contract is up after this year...
This only would have been an issue if he was a going to be earning a big contract coming out of his ELC. His next contract is probably going to be less than what his current one is when you factor in bonuses. I don't think it matters at all anymore. though Pulju isn't going to figure it out here. The sooner this organization realizes that the sooner we can hopefully get something for him.
Sure is going to suck dealing him for a 3rd round pick in a year or twos time though.
