$8.5 x 8. wow.
Listen, he's a very good player, I'm not trying to take anything away from him......but my god that's a lot of money for a lot of term. I imagine he'll be successful for quite a few years, but if he ever drops below 60 points again, he's going to have to hide in that city. That's a pretty crazy contract for a guy coming off his ELC. You'd think that they would have a little bargaining power over him to take a bit of a discount, but this is full value and then some extra for that kind of term. He'll be 29 when the contract of his life is over.
I love the fact that $8+ x 8 is now the new $6 x 6. Keep on doing what you're doing Edmonton.
