Can he drive offense at an elite level by himself? Or will he turn into another Huberdeau? it would probably cost us 14x7. You would have to be sure he can be an elite offensive driver by himself.
We'd also be signing him from 29-36, so his down years will be our biggest window.

He’s going to have 30-50 games with Carolina before hitting free agency (if he hits free agency). More than enough time to see if his play was only because of Colorado’s other guys.
If the cap actually goes up by the projected amount over the next three years - and these stupid tariffs are likely to impact that — this is the time where signing high end free agents makes a lot of sense. Although we’ve been complaining about Calgary’s timing with cap space, their rebuild timing might be perfect.
