According to nhlnumbers.com, he is RFA after this deal expires, so they still have some cost control, but if they want a longer deal, they are buying some UFA years which is where it gets more expensive. Those more familiar with CBA can chime in, as I am not sure how many more RFA years he would have after that deal.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
