I can't really comment on the contract itself (although it does seem excess) but I just find situations like this so interesting. The guy was 25 years old and making roughly $60,000 in the AHL, before that he was undrafted. He didn't really establish himself as an NHL player until 27, and even then it was iffy. Now his $10,000,000.00 contract is going to kick in just before his 29th birthday.
