9 million a year for 5 years, and the NHL salary cap in 2008-2009 was 56 million. so 16% of the cap.

so even going by that if the cap stays at 73 million it would be 11.7 million dollars per year.

The average salary of 8.7 came about because the last year of the contract was about 4.5 million, that's not allowed anymore.
