You must have lost your mind when Phaneuf signed his deal for $6.5m x 6, at the time it was 11% of the cap, or $8.14m in today's dollars. Hamilton's contract would be $4.3m in 2009/10 dollars.

You're basically going crazy over a $1m over payment that could easily be negated if Hamilton takes the next step.
