*Cough* contract year *cough*. Even if he had a pedestrian year he probably was going to pull close 5 million long-term. Now I won't be surprised if we're in the 6-7 range with max term. It's just the way free agency is headed, especially with the cap going back up. He's a guy I'd love on this team pushing Gio and Brodie for top minutes, but it's just not gonna happen until we can be a competitive team again.
