Heck no. JG isn’t a unicorn worth that ridiculous price

Hard disagree, 40 goal scorers don't grow on trees.

For a rental? Heck no. Theyre not going to re-sign him with all the other players that have needing new deals.

If they’re trading that much, at least get a player with term.

I think the idea with a trade like this is that they would extend him.

Not their M.O. to give a soon to be 30yr old a max term deal, and JG will certainly and rightfully be looking for a max term deal at $8M+ into his late 30s.

Maybe it’s just a good move as a rental, and they try to recoup draft assets later.

Canes are at a roster turnover fork in the road, I’m coming around to the idea of jumping in and seeing what happens.

Maybe Jake isn’t the right target, but a splash must be made.

What rental pulled two firsts? I’ll wait

you way over estimate the value of 2 late round 1sts.
2nd round picks have a 25% chance of being a 200 game player.
A late round 1st is slightly better.

The real prize in trading Jake is going to be a top prospect. Not how many late round 1sts you can add.
I doubt an offer of 2 late round 1sts get attention.

you way overvalue the cost of a rental, even a good one
