Regardless, if ownership doesn't care, then I would be spending like that too (and shuffling players onto LTIR if they get hurt).

Looks like its 7 years but I wonder how willing insurers would be to pay out for seven years to a guy like Bergeron who's had 4 concussions already. I remember reading that insurance had to pay Crosby 9 million when he was out and at that time people were saying insurance companies might pull coverage for players with concussion histories.
