My personal feeling remains that if the team has concerns about the injury history or his ability to progress then they shouldn't hesitate to move him in a trade for a Byram or previously Cozens.

If they think he's too good to be moved for one of those guys, then you should have faith in that assessment and try to lock him up long term.

Personally I think he has the potential to be a pretty dynamic 60 point forward, and I'd be trying to lock that up now for around $6M if I could.
I don't think it's that binary.
Two knee injuries, in the same year, simply changes the risk profile, and therefore the type of deal you would be willing to make, and specifically the degree of commitment.
