Stalberg signed for 5% of the cap. With 23 player roster the average salary is 4.3%. I just over the NHL average Salary too much for Stalberg?

In general I think people need to rething what is expensive for a player. The going rate for a star coming out of the lockout was 7 million of the 39million cap or 18%. If someone did that now it would be 11.5 million. The 50% increase in what players are paid combined with the top players being paid less means that there is more money for the mid level guys.

3 million for Stalberg is a great deal compared to Clarkson and Clowe.
