I almost posted a thread on this, but like Phil said, 5 mil is too much for a 20-20-40 player. I like that he is a vet winger with leadership and a heavy shot that can play the point on the PP. All of that would be a great fit, except at 2.5-3 mil...not 5 mil, and not for two seasons.
Well here was my figuring on it, We're going to have that 5M free in cap space; and I dont really see any "core" players leaving within the next 2 years; and when that 5M comes off the books, we can offer it to Tyler Myers, given that we can all almost assume that Grier, Rivet, Nieds, and Montador will all come off the books next year; not to mention the Connolly 4.5M will probably be off the books as well.
Thats a bout 10M right there, give or take; will we really miss 5M with guys like Kassian, Adam, Gragnani, Gerbe, and Ennis all ready to step in, or will be ready to step in at that point.
I understand your concerns, but our cap really isn't a major concern for us; given the depth we have in our minor system.
