What kind of contract do you expect Debrusk to sign if not in the ballpark of 5.5X5?? Every article I read on the matter puts him at that price tag
Look at your thinking here which is clearly visible in your post.
Smith....at 5 mil per for 1 year, putting up 40 points.... is no good.... aka trade him out..
DuBrusk... a very streaky, inconsistent player, who is also a roughly 40 point guy, at 5.5x 5..... is somehow a good move?
What kind of contract do I think DeBrusk is worth. Roughly 4 million per x 2-3 years.
Because inconsistent players are middle 6 guys and no one wants 3rd liners on 5 year deals. Nor does anyone want to pay a 40 point guy 5.5 mil per.
It is what it is.
Let some Dbag sports writer shout into the void, who cares.
If someone else wants to over pay on that contract, let them.
