thats true, but we do already have guys that can move around the lineup that way as needed.
I guess the question is, is the likely 5 1/2 to 6 mil payday really worth it, compared to what you'll get out of Baer or Pearson e.g.? yes he might produce a little more, say even 10 -15 points more if he's with Petey, but is that worth the cap effects? I'm not sold.
Panarin on the other hand is a game-changer type player that has a chance of making the other inevitable cap sacrifices worth it.
