Why draft a guy 3rd ovr and play him ten years as third center?

Its called depth

The term "insanity" would be better

why explain?

Columbus is asking for Suzuki.

I mean, with Dubois, we would spend 20-25mil for 3 centers. Dubois does not fit in our lineup, and we need a top winger way more than another top center.
Imagine having 20-25 mil for Dubois-KK-Zuke, 10,5 for Price and 8 for Weber. That's around 40mil (half the cap)

Art of the deal. Always ask for the highest value you know you're not going to get. Ottawa called for Cody Glass in the Mark Stone deal, Vegas said no but you can have Brannstrom.

KK, Armia, Mete and 1st for Dubois.

Rather be stronger down the middle then on wings

I don't know... If Price was like 2-3mil less, it would make a lot more sense to me. The only way it could work is to move KK on the wing, but we skipped on Tkachuk and Hughes because we wanted a center, so it would be kind of dumb imo

That's the better offer than the garbage the OP is suggesting, but I could see Columbus trying to get it higher if a bidding war starts.

because he's a bust and was drafted way to high

Awful take
