Hire Sather
He Is Our Star
Strome ---
is in demand
fact he will be ufa ups value
fact he is righty shot ditto
fact he plays either C or W also ditto
conclusion:
high demand = competitive bidding = drives up price
price is later middle to late 1st + throw in, following the Hayes model, but less.
i.e., a later 1st, but not nec a former 1st [Lemieux type] has to be throw in
We need cap space and mins for people going forward.
Morgan Baron might be only 2 seasons away on top of other guys already here.
He will want, deserve and get upwards of 5 per for upward of 5 yrs.
NY will sell high and trim to the core.
We want a first round pick.
Period.
Save the long winded shit for once, would you?
