Good enough?

I'm in the same opinion that he's not worth the amount he's asking for but the bolded part is what we simply don't know. There will always be GMs who are desperate and would offer a lot for a guy like that. I'd think there would be a handful of GMs who would do $7M+ if they want him to be their next 1st line player on a shallow team. On the Leafs, it's not a good fit with that salary given what they have to do at seasons end. Anyway, we can say all we want here, but ultimately the market decides what a player is going to be paid.
