If we can get him, I'd take him. I'd be slightly worried about him in the room, but I think we have more than enough character to offset the baggage he might bring.

To the first point, while it has been true to this point, the economics of NA today will really test this. The next few years (and probably for the long term) of a low CDN dollar could have a substantial impact. It's probably more likely to float around the same or drop slightly than it is to increase substantially.
The bolded part I just don't get. The required assets to attain him HAVE to be taken into consideration. "If you can get, take him" implies that you're not concerned with what has to go back the other way. I'd prefer to keep our assets, a few of whom may have the potential to be Kessel-type players.
