Don't get me wrong, I'd rather keep Chucky, but if you rebuild and go scorched earth, he brings back the biggest return of futures out of anybody on the entire team.
Thats fair, I get that. So to my original point, you rebuild then. Very disappointing to watch a player like that move before he even gets started here but like you say, he may command too much when a retool has money being spent around him to compete, and his price tag would be too high for a rebuilding team.
