This implies that in the future he will certainly be playing well, doesn't it??
I don't blankly assume that a guy so young is going to turn it around, especially given the arsenal at his disposal in 2023. It aint gonna be like that all the time.
You've guaranteed yourself a positive trend in your mind while I'm in the "wait until I see more" camp.
As a GM I'd happily risk cost going up over collapsing teams in the future for the sake of trying to prevent rising costs. Cap space goes up as well...u do know that, right? Risk is inherent on both sides. If you're able to acknowledge it and can stop guaranteeing future success with so many moving parts and variables you can't predict, you'll see things clearer.
