It seems to me if we want to be able to afford a top 6 guy like Giroux and be able to afford contracts for Norris, forms, etc., there is only room for one of Paul and White.
If you guys had to choose, would you rather have:
- Paul at $2.5M/yr for the next 3 years (could be higher and/or more term) + White buyout of $0.875M/yr for the next 6 years
- White at $5M/yr for the next 3 years (cap is slightly lower but salary due is slightly higher) + asset obtained for trading Paul at the deadline (say, a 2nd or 3rd round pick)
It's probably close but my vote is to keep White.
