You sure about that? He'll only ask for 5? Again, calm down with the immature passive aggressiveness and understand the point I am making. He is absolutely valuable. But at what point is too much for us not to keep him(especially considering makeup of the team + his age). I am speaking from the lens of a budget team, if we weren't, it's easy decision. Our highest paid forward is essentially a Connor Brown, thus we have those guys internally but not enough gamebreaking talent that... you know.. wins cups.
Goodrow and Coleman got back extremely late 1sts aka 2nd rounders(i think one was higher as it was someone else's 1st). 2 1sts for Hagel are going to be 2 more 2nd round picks for a 23 year old version of Brown paid 1.5 mil for 3 playoff runs.
I am talking about the future of this team, not now, genius; you should know my perspective by now. And not sure what "Colin White vibes" means, the guy is prime candidate to get bought-out and he's in heavy rumors of being traded(with rumor that MTL nixed last second deal a few weeks ago); so Sweatred was clearly justified(if that's what youre alluding to).
