Going to be interesting to see what they sign for. All I know is paying for potential isn't the best situation to be in. Nobody thought Stajan was going to get worse and fall off a cliff, but he didn't come close to the numbers he put up with Toronto.
Get this wrong and we are screwed going forward when you're talking about 7 year deals.

This is a fairly silly comparison.
