Much higher chance of internally replacing a Neal level guy than a Nylander level guy.

GM’s job to evaluate that. Though I’m not sure if you and I got in the same room together we’d be wrong appreciably more often than any of them are.
I agree to pay the stars, but you draft them and pay them after ELC. How many stars weren’t drafted by their team? Panarin, Zibanejad, Miller, DeBrincat. Tkachuk? Reinhart I guess but someone’s about to think he’s a star and overpay. Eichel, but that’s a long story. Adam Fox forced his way out like Tkachuk.
Not many.
