want to keep him, think he's definitely worth 2mill, think he will be long term as well...
but every dollar we save on any contract means another we can put someplace else. I don't begrudge the processes or BT trying to keep his 3rd line player salary costs down.
Look how much trouble Boston got into by paying their 3rd and 4th line guys 'what they deserve'. Much as we love 'em, much as they add, they're not the core and they are replaceable if their price tag is too high.
