Well, I see your point, and I won't object IF it's a vet min deal...but what are the odds we get that from Levi?

well, and i don't know, but if we sign him to a market based contract (no where near the 3M he is due, but over vet min) and he is a camp cut, no harm no foul salary cap wise right? and if he is capable, than he helps us at a higher tag. I would price him under Dock, over vet min.

Well Dockery is getting 3.2, so I would certainly hope he gets less. I am guessing your hope is that we get lucky and he plays most of the games, if not all? If he did, I'd be willing to pay more than vet min. (this is where incentives come in)

I think he is a quality starter getting replaced by a HIGH priced rookie, and therefore he had to go. yes 3 years ago, he only started 6 games, 2 years ago he started 15, and last year he started the first 10. before that though he was a consistent 15-16 starter. No one, that I know, is saying he has lost a step like Jansen has (or it has been said). So if he we get him, he is the starter, and I believe he can backup Samuels as well. That is the type of player we are lacking, and who we have been keeping the last dollars of salary cap space available. I dont really know what would be a "right" price, but I think it is worth more than just vet min to have him. I am already glad they didn't trade a 6th round pick for him!
