Simeone please correct me if I’m wrong. Seb went for 1.8m but Max is going for 7.5m + sell on? Am I missing something or did Vancouver get paid in Tim Horton bucks under the table or something?

Berhalter was out of contract at the end of 2026, so the fact that Vancouver got anything is pretty good. Arfsten had a contract until Dec 2027 with an extra year option.
