idk I'd be pretty ok securing a player like Henrique for that package all things considered. I'm not as concerned with his game falling off a cliff like some other 30yr olds, maybe by year 4, but even then do we trust Botts to fix the issues by attracting UFA's or finding the mythical 'younger 2C' in a trade? Seems like an easy add, I'll worry about '23-'24 if there's actually something to worry about by then.
This is where I am. His value is fine now, and what are the alternatives? Can we attract Haula or Pageau without significant overpayment? We do not have the assets to acquire a top 2C. Henrique fills a gaping hole in the roster and gives the roster more balance. MoJo slides back to wing next year, Cozens will be able to join the team as a sheltered 3C or 2RW either next year or the following. I feel a whole lot more comfortable with Henrique at 5.8M than Johansen at 8M or Turris at 6M.
