I'm not crazy about signing Johnny to a 10+ mill per deal. The whole team makeup changes with a deal like that, I'm not saying he isn't worth it but is it right for the team right now?
Some are going to say that the team is very close and they just need a little more time or something but having a career year on a contract year always kind of scares me. Is this the new norm? Is that line going to always be like this? If they pay their top 2 wingers 10+ will they be able to afford to build a team around them? If something happens and they have to trade him, will his contract be moveable?
To me it's not as simple as "he's our best player so pay him whatever he wants" weather he's worth it or not, I think that's why a deal hasn't been made yet. But that's just me.
