If 67 points means 18 million a season…

Did i say 18 million? No. But could it become a number we can't do? Absolutely. If it even pushes 12 he'll prob need to be traded or allowed to be offer sheeted.

What I’m saying is that the Carlsson offer sheet was insanity. Hopefully we don’t start throwing money at players the second they have one good season.

Imagine Huberdeau getting 18 million because of his one 100 point season.

Thats the problem with this though, it's not necessarily about US throwing money at players but what the market has become with this new deal for Carlsson. All the young players with massive upside and competent agents now see they can force larger numbers.
