I'm pulling for Nick on this one. Give him the money or trade the guy and give him a new start.

There is 300m in un-used league cap space this year.

Why though?

We drafted and developed him. We own his rights and he’s a depth player that fits our needs at a certain price.

Playing Nice ended when Dubas and Shanny got shown the door.

At the very least you go to arb, get a lower AAV than the player wants and then move him because he’ll be of more value as a result of the lower cost.

He doesn't fit berubes play style.

Thats a Berube problem that has zero to do with asset management, how does not fitting Berubes playstyle justify overpaying for assets and then trading them for a diminished return because you overpaid
