He's only 21 ... that makes it even juicer.
factually correct, but more important IMO is that he is early on long term deal, don't have it in front of me, but a reasonable 6m-ish for term. You are overpaying for the potential, but you are getting a good crack at seeing it realized into extensive production.
And again, I don't even think about this, except for the synergy of Mack and krieider! Would result in total domination and allow instant alleviation vs Sid + Geno as dominant pair, esp w/ Malkin nicked up as he gets older
