This Statsny thing is interesting. I don't think we will get him, nor do I think Chevy and company will want to overpay and cough up 7 mil for years and years of a 28 year old. Statsny to me, is basically another Bryan Little. Similar numbers, both good 2 way players, I would argue Statsny has a little more skill, but Little has a better overall game, making them fairly equal, Little is also 2 years younger on a bargain contract. It is just funny people are quick to call Little a 2C, but Statsny the missing 1C. I can't believe we are still having the debate on Little being a 1C. He is a solid (not super star) 1C. This is just the whole "new toy thing" Why would you pay Bryan Little 7-7.5 mil for 5+ years. Statsny will be making almost 3 mil more then Little, and by far be our highest paid forward, to be fairly equal to Little, and Wheeler's status. I say leave it and go for a cheaper solid 2B/3A guy. I just think it is silly to pay 7+ million to a 20-25 goal, 50-60 point player. Statsny = Little. Just gets more hype then Little.
Great post!
