im just saying you should not spend all this on a 80 point winger because there will be cheaper opputnities thant, debrincat for exemple. i know why he will be cheaper to acquire and why keller would be more expensive, but its better to acquire the less expensive one when you are.

My question is: why do we need to keep adding forwards before trying out the ones we have? Maybe Keller wouldn't gel well and we give up all those assets. I'm just speaking in hypotheticals here but the Dach's, the Newhook's, they cost less than every 1st we have. We're also not a Keller away from being relevant and I don't think we need to be making big splashes like that until we're sure (or more sure) what the main roster is going to look like going forward. Still too many questions, gotta let the kids cook a lil bit imo.
I understand what you are saying about giving the kids some time, but Keller is a kid too and he is locked in at $700,000.00 less per year than Caufield is (I am NOT slamming Caufield). Who can they add that will produce like Keller with certainty?
If Montreal ends up with the 9th pick in 2024, the 11th pick in 2025 and the 13th pick in 2026 (plus giving those guys time to develop) how confident can you be that any of those guys will be as good as Keller?
MAYBE we get lucky enough to get a high draft position and MAYBE that pick pans out, but Keller is a cost friendly, young star that is roughly the same age as Suzuki.
Once again, take out whomever you want from the original offer if you think it is too much, but I like the idea of getting Keller at a price that Arizona will accept.
