I reserve the right to change my price after seeing how the playoffs go, but that's my limit today.

Sometimes in discussions it turns out that “sign him not matter what” folks usually do have a limit. But the playing field has certainly changed over the last year.
I tend to agree that a winger (and one that hasn’t proven himself in the POs over the years) can’t command elite centre numbers.
