Anytime a player gets red hot like this entering a contract year, I always get to thinking how this could be the best hockey you will EVER see from the player. He might get 3.5 million/year and then never see another 20 goal season for the length of the deal. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so business minded and I could just enjoy the hockey and STFU.
He's getting Pominville money or he's going to arbitration. Reverse the 3 and the 5, that's what's worrisome.
Pominville went from the Senator killer to rather pedestrian and his shot went from "laser guided" to "Hecht" on the accuracy meter in short order. I'm hoping that the recent good things we've seen are a taste of things to come from Jason.
I think we have to pay Drew. Otherwise, you just going to use a first round pick or even more money on a FA to try and replace him.
