Finally off Dubois.Anyways, this has gotten well off topic. I'd like Necas but up to a certain extent in terms of cap hit.
Yes, i'd like Necas too to a certain extend in terms of cap hit...I've maintained that since the beginning of this debate and your subsequent but temporary meltdown.
I said 6.5-7.5M/yr seems to be the sweet spot but I wouldn't walk away at 8M/yr either because that's the market for a player his age/pedigree and who you're buying up to 7 years of free agency years (assuming on an 8 year deal).
That's the cost.
For some reason, you think paying a guy a cap hit that is the equivalent of anywhere from 75th to 80th highest cap hit amongst NHL players, is outrageous.
I just think it's market price.
So you'd be willing to pay multiple assets, but 500K/yr more per year is where you draw the line?You can’t bring Necas in and give him more than Suzuki
I don’t think that’s logic at all.
I think 7,5M$ per is the max I’d go for him.
Seems like an odd thing to stand by given that 8M today, is more like 6.8M-7M when Suzuki signed his deal.
I'd have much more reservation about the assets i'd have to trade to acquire Necas, rather than the 500K/yr it might cost more per year than Suzuki.
Regardless, I don't even think 8M/yr is what it would take to sign him, that's on the higher end and i'm just entertaining the thought, I still think in the 6.5-7.5M range is the sweet spot. But like I said, if i'm willing to pay the cost of acquisition, stopping at what amounts to 4M spread out over 8 years seems silly at that point.
