You guys are nuts, this is a great deal. Kopitar is awesome.

I was actually thinking about it a bit more because I am a huge fan of Kopitar, I guess I was just caught by surprise. Its actually not even that much of a raise. I was surprised more by the term. I mean at those dollars 8 years seems a bit....whats the word...insane?
But you're right, looking at his comparables the dollars arent bad, and Kopitar is an excellent player. The Toews comparison is a good one.
But man oh man, if I'm Dustin Brown I am dotting all my i's and crossing all my t's and being on my absolute best behaviour.
Because if Brown steps out of line by so much as a pinky toe Lombardi and co are going to take that as just cause and launch him and his contract into the sun.
That team is in legit cap hell.
