Agreed. What this could boil down is what you could get for a return for JG with 2 years left on contract vs 1 year left on contract.
We saw the return that we got for iginla as a rental and it wasn’t pretty (or more recently, what hall fetched). Do you take a package that while isn’t eye popping but satisfactory now or do you stick to your guns and take a return that is lesser as a rental next year?
Boils down to a bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush. Johnny gets hurt in the last year of his contract and poof, there goes any value coming back. The organization has done a piss poor job of asset management with players heading towards ufa (Iginla, Cammalleri, bouwmeester, etc) so I hope BT cashes out before you hit the point of diminishing returns.
