I agree that they have to be situational.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of the Hamilton deal, I think he short-changed himself, that $5.75 looks awesome now, in 3 years its going to be awesome.

Players want guarantees and safety. They want long term, big-dollar, guaranteed contracts with NTCs and NMCs and teams need to take advantage of that.

The fact is that the cap is going to be increasing over time, even if it doesnt increase significantly it has never gone down.

And with the cap increasing player salaries will rise along with it.
