Duncan Kieth's contract goes until he's 39 with classic cap circumvention salaries after age 35. If you took a 27-year old Keith, then calculated Keith's cap hit between when he signed it, and when he turns 33, and then added in the inflation since he signed it, his comparable cap hit would be 9.9 million for the next six years.
If Keith's cap hit were 9.9m, then does 5.5 for Petry really look all that bad?
You can't get away with cheating the cap after the 2013 CBA.
