Based on 2014 signings, which were made under the assumption that the cap would continue to rise indefinitely, this is a reasonable thing to say. Based on 2015, when the cap has flatlined and looks to remain fairly flat for the foreseeable future, those are absolutely not value contracts. Salaries
can rise quickly in the NHL. But at present, they are not actually doing so.
