What if prices continue to inflate for wingers, right?

You're seeing that with Connor and Kaprizov and players like that.

And what if he keeps this up?

But I think on the other hand, I look at it and just thinking of Natchez's track record, I go, what if he doesn't, right?

Because last year he gets off to this great scoring start with the Canes.

And then as the year rolled on, you kind of see the underlying numbers start to dip.

And the scoring eventually dried up with it.

Do I think that's going to happen here?

Not necessarily.

He's playing with Nathan McKinnon.

It's a lot different.

But I would pump the brakes just to make sure this is like the complete and total right fit because you can't afford to sign a bad contract if you're Colorado.

It's a little bit different.

But I also think here this might not be the same overpayment that we see because for Kyle Connor, he is the guy up front in Winnipeg and Kaprizov is in Minnesota.

In Colorado, you're second to McCarr and McKinnon.

You're going to be every single day of the week.

And then you still have guys like Landis Cog there.

So it's like it kind of changes the hierarchy a bit that I think should come into contract play.

It's not good because he's definitely one of their better offensive generators.

He brings energy, he's effective, he hits, he does a little bit of everything, right?
