I hate to say it but this contract will be an anchor the last two years. Paying a 37 year old defenseman almost 7m when we will need that money for the young guys will be a problem. The chances of him being a top pairing guy are low. The only question is can we live with that just to get a lower hit over the next 4 years. Apparently BT can.
