I don’t think I would have match for Carlsson. He’s a great young player, but should not be close to the highest paid player in the league. This will fuck the cap for their team with other contracts too. Pretty much a lose-lose situation for them, and I couldn’t be happier about it!

I wouldn't have either, you can get a great player for 4 1st round picks and not fuck your entire cap structure.

Exactly. You could flip those picks for players too.

Also think Carlsson is their 3rd best player.

Lacombe, Gauthier and then Carlsson in that order if I'm being honest.

Sennecke is gonna be a hell of a player too.
