high draft choice, made the team in his draft+1 year, seen as part of the future of the team. that spells almost untouchable; so if you want a player like him you overpay. they will (should) ask for one of your bona fide young players in return; that leaves just McAvoy and Pastrnak imo (don't mind the positions). you won't get him for any package of mediocre assets like late first rounders, cap dumps, "maybe" prospects etc.

We shouldn't suck his too hard he only had 48 points and I don't see him being that much better in the future.
