Yeah, as much as Kevin Lowe is an idiot, you really can point to the Vanek offer sheet as being something that altered the salary structure of the NHL. Granted the younger free agency age was always going to shift the age bracket where the maximum earning was. But the younger RFA aged guys started getting a lot more money much sooner, and with the pie only so big, it took the money away from elsewhere.
Good veteran depth guy for Nashville.
