Yeah, I wasn’t taking a stance either way - just stating facts, breh
But if you want my opinion:
While I like the concept of the Laf+Goodrow, and I like Goodrow in a bottom 6 role - that contract is just too much (glad he got paid) it’s a real noose, to the point it might actually interfere with other more productive uses of the cap space.
Counter argument to your idea: what is the likelihood the Sharks would draft a player as that contributes to the level of Laf at the NHL level using a 2nd? I’m under the general impression that a bonafide 3rd line winger (where I think he is today), probable middle 6 upside, with decent top 6 potential, and the outside chance he figures it all out and peaks as a top line winger, would be an excellent outcome for a 2nd round pick.
