Im curious what your offer was. Its not like you could have offered less. We actually paid to get rid of him.
I haven't changed screen names, but it's a whole lot of posts back, and probably mostly on the Caps side. All I remember (edited: someone) asking me, "why do we want a 3C that makes $6M" and me being like, "mphhhhhhh!!!!"
edit:
don't look at this one that Buffalo fans passed on: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/642830 That's embarrassing...
..but at least someone accepted the same thing on the Buffalo side: https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/124408
Here's an even worse one for the Caps: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/605182
in my defense, the Caps had announced they didn't want to pay Carlson the amount I was already sure he was worth, and I was sure they'd lose him for nothing, as well as lose Burakovsky for nothing in free agency later. As far as evaluating B prospects, there's just not much information that fans at home get, but I'm learning ot pay more attention to what there is.
and in hindsight, here's an offer a Buffalo fan made, that I correctly noticed the Caps hugely won: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/645384
Goes to show it's hard to predict how players will develop and evolve over time.
