Thread: Give Hamilton his 8M
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>I'd gladly give Hamilton $8m...but I think he comes in higher than that. Unless WPG massively overpays, I feel like there isn't much a shot at landing him with more desirable locations being in the mix.</div></div>

I am as critical of the Jets GM (and coach) as much as others from the outside looking in because he seems to never really make moves or improve his team (every year they are wasting mvp performances from their goalie), but there always does need to be that qualifier that they will never be a big free agency destination. Now that can often be a blessing, seeing as how many overpay for UFAs, but even maybe trading for a player with a few years left changes the equation when you think the player will not resign.

Exactly man! It can be a blessing and a curse when it comes to UFA's, I also agree that the trade market for players with a couple years left on their deals is something we should explore more than we do.
