Actual salary is $6.714 for next 4 years, 15% of which is just over $1M. As well, Bob McKenzie confirmed that the retained salary averages $1M for the first 4 years.
I agree that it should go down substantially after that, by which time Lou will have retired anyways.
Let's not lose sight of the bigger picture by haggling over the details. The Canucks are a train wreck, and Gillis is either the 29th or 30th best GM in the league right now.
