revisionist history strikes again

when it was signed people thought it shouldn't be allowed by the NHL for cap circumvention, it's a shame Mike Gillis (and every other GM who signed one of these) couldn't foresee CBA changes but it happens, was mostly thought of as a shrewd move to keep a goalie like that at such a low cap hit

with Bobrovsky wanting 6m and Rask rumored to be getting 7m per year (and who knows what Schnieders next contract pays him, if he plays like the last 2 seasons it would be comparable to Rask) I have zero issue paying Luongo 5.33
