Keeping Branden Albert for a season doesn't make any sense to me if I'm thinking the way this front office is thinking.
It's not really on topic, or anything, just a stray thought following from SNR.
If I'm this front office, I'm probably willing to pay Branden Albert Top 10 LT money, like make him the 5th or 6th best paid.
If he's looking to be the 1st or 2nd best paid, and I'm not willing to do that... then having him play on the tag for a year doesn't make sense. His demands aren't going to come down for any conceivable reason, he's going to be a worse cap hit next year. And his trade value will be lower because he'll be another year older, and potentially injured.
You can get a 2nd rounder for him now. Or you can shit compensation next year, or even worse, let him walk and get zero compensation until 2015.
