Does depending on the contract tho, but I bet Wiz will be around the same as Polak.
That and likely the familiarity of having him play within the system before. Wiz as a PMD is a little less needed with Rielly and Gards. Polak fills a more lacking position on defense.

Yzerman made out like a bandit with 2 - 2nd round picks for him.
He signed with Washington so you don't need to worry!
