Thread: Jesse and fiala
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>too much for Pulj and not enough for Fiala (although slightly - probably a slightly better prospect or a draft pick instead).

I like the idea of adding Paul but interested to see what his market will be like after the Tampa effect.</div></div>

Agree with you, Goodrow has a good third line job with Tampa and he got a 3.6m X 6 contract from the Rangers as a third line winger. That's pricey in today's market.
Average player can elevate their game at least for a the short term when they are playing with stars. Can they continue it when they play with lesser players? Not saying. Canes are that much "lesser" but Tampa does have the swagger as Cup Champs.
To take a more extreme a example. A good QB on a good team leaves as UFA to become more high paid on poor team. Unless the his new team improves their overall roster, this same good QB will suddenly look bad.
