I know I'm in the minority here. But I honestly think he could be a premier-type player next year, and there's no WAY we're going to get back a similar talent via trade.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


Eating $21M? WTF? You think we'll pay all of his salary to play somewhere else?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That's probably the only way some one takes him
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->


ALL of his salary? Nonsense.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree, we'll have to eat some of his salary, but most definitely not all of it.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Definitely not all, but I would say $15 of the $21 mil and up, especially if he went to Tampa
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So you think $3M per year is the most we can get anyone to value him at?

[veryzer]

if we traded him straight up for another bad contract, we shouldn't have to eat much of his salary at all.

Quite so. The idea that we'll eat at least $15M is nutso.

If we don't get more than 6 million of his salary back over two years he better be. What good does it do to save such a small pittance of money? That's like Miles money.
