Like most Americans, my wife and I aren't rich. We make enough to get by, but not much more than that. When we need to make a major purchase, I ask her if it is necessary. I don't want to waste money. More importantly, if we are going to spend money on it, I want to make sure it is used and not just collecting dust.
I bring this up because the price paid for Nikita Grebenkin last spring was fairly high. To acquire him, as well as a first-round pick, the Flyers needed to send Scott Laughton and a pair of picks to Toronto.
