^ I think you're reading too much into his comments. It's posturing and he's trying to play BT or other GMs through the media, nothing more. If he's expecting a massive overpayment, he's not really interested in moving the pick. However, there has been a lot of smoke here, a hell of a lot more than most year's draft rumors. I think CBJ is in a tough spot with expansion and their ability to sign Jones that they might be forced to do something they otherwise wouldn't. Of course he isn't going to say that, he's going to try to play up his position.
