If I get banned for going against an echo chamber would be hilarious.
But some lessons:
1: always trust comps
2: term matters
3: Cap hit is king
4: learn about positional value
5: learn about the NHL age development curve
Mercer wasn't put on the table in negotiations for Meier, he wasn't offered in packages where Fitz was asking for Hanifin AND Markstrom.
Look to the montreal model on the prices of young NHLers as first time RFAs. Think about how much they paid for Newhook and Dach. That's the market. Then think about how many levels above mercer has been compared to those two.
Then look at every goalie trade ever. Heck even Dominick Hasek coming off 6 vezinas in 8 years didn't get as much as some people here think Markstrom will
