to the players that you already have, the players you've drafted throughout the next half dozen years or so.

Again, that's a pipe dream.

It's something you can hope for.

But there are BC players around that maybe you'd like to see if you can bring back when the time is right, so to speak, that do supply that splash, so to speak, where this is a player that will tilt the team over the top if you're able to land these type of talent.

Yeah, obviously you can't lie to people.

That would be the first one.

You've got to be honest with them.

And that's where he's not worth 11 and a half.

um he's not worth that right now can he come back i highly doubt it i believe you are who you are under the right circumstances in the right setup can he be a point of game guy i believe so um so if you're trading for 110 point guy number one center you're gonna you're gonna get fooled a little bit but if you're thinking you can get a number two center

that can, in the right circumstances with the right line mates, put up 80 points good defensively, then the potential is there.

But it depends what you have on your roster.

And now comes the kicker here.

I'm obviously not taking him at 11.5.

That's the big one.

That's where this contract that we're talking about, you might have to wait a little bit longer before it becomes an asset, so to speak, where right now you might have to

Maybe not necessarily attach a ton to it, but it's definitely not easy to move without taking something back that you might not want.

Yeah, and that's where you've got to be honest with what you're getting and where you're landing him, what you're bringing him into.

I would need this perfect setup.

I would need my right and left wingers that I know he's going to play with already signed, knowing what they contribute and they can make up for his shortfalls, whatever they might be, dressing room on ice and all those things.

So, yeah, you can have a very skilled guy working with these two, but that's where it's maybe more so important what you have in-house when you're bringing him in than what he's going to add to your team.
