Bouma: $1.0M / $1.5M = 66.7%
Holtby: $2.9M / $5.1M = 56.9%

Same is true for the player's ask:

Bouma: $1.0M / $2.5M = 40%
Holtby: $2.9M / $8.0M = 36.3%

So what? Well, there's a big difference between Lance Bouma asking for a million dollar raise and me asking for a million dollar raise.

Your math is a little off, Bouma is asking for a 250% raise, whereas Holtby is asking for a 275% raise
