Guilt Trip said:Honest question....can you find someone as good as him that the Leafs could have signed for that money as a UFA?Dappleganger said:I like Rielly, but I think this was a bad idea. :-\
Is that your only consideration though? Like, as long as a player signs for a little less than full market UFA value then it's what the Leafs should do?
Trading him for a more cost controlled younger and maybe a little less offensive with more defense type might be a good move, right?
Now if Sandin progresses into Rielly-lite this season, how do you afford him? These re-signing decisions have impacts on who they can no longer re-sign....it's not just about "they took a little less so it's a good move".
