I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess he doesn't get near that, but if so, move on.

Like I said, I'd give him the deal MVS got.
It's essentially a 1 year, $9 million dollar deal with team options for $9 million and $12 million thereafter.
If necessary, I'd go ahead and effectively lock in the 2nd year and make it a 2 year, $18 million deal w/ an option for a 3rd at $12 million.
He's an extremely young player who has improved here. Throwing that out because he didn't hit the ground at 100 mph (and remember, I have never liked the pick) is just awfully reckless, IMO.
Now if the money doesn't work, it doesn't work. I think JJSS or Hardman is a false choice - we can make that work.
But if it's Hardman or Thornhill? Hmmmmm.....now we're making things tough. I think I'd rather have Thornhill.
But my justifications are similar, both guys offer something that's not as easy to get as is being suggested.
