Not for me. To me it's first about getting a guy who can outperform his ELC, and then after that who will excel before UFA.
Who cares if Jankowski will be the best player from the draft in 10 years when he'll be UFA in 7?
I want guys who can play in the AHL in ELC year one, adjust to the NHL in ELC year two, and make an impact in ELC year three. Then hopefully you still have some good RFA years after that.
