I wouldn't be shocked if that's why he hasn't been signed yet. The cap is going to be an issue moving forward, and having a bad contract can cause problems. If he's 100%, then a 7.5/6 deal isn't bad for what he brings. If not, then hold off and see if he'll re-sign for less (5.5-6 per)
I was way more concerned when he detached that muscle in his hip (or whatever it was - it looked painful). Anything that could hinder his skating is a huge concern.


A bicep injury seems like something modern medicine has a handle on. But I say that from a place of complete ignorance.

Regardless, he doesn't skate on his biceps
