I don't think Sam would be an 80 point player on that said team, I think he'd produce less in that shuffle. I'm not bashing Sam but he plays with weak physicality and he's not a small man.
I don't think dumping Sam is the thought and I don't think he has any bearing on negative culture. I think the thought is, can we trade Sam for something we're better off with vs having to pay him 6.5 - 7.5 mil per. I lean towards trading him and at least attempting to spend the money elsewhere. Fully understanding, we'd have a difficult time finding a player worth that kind of money to come here.
It's a tough one for me.
