Also really doubt that many people are going to the games see the guy. Its not like he's that big of a star.
Hes their playoff Hero. They're an expansion team that went to the Stanley Cup Finals on their first try!

Yeah, in Vegas hes a huge deal. He is arguably the face of that Franchise and when you're brand new you make deals like these.

Its a good contract. Not just because of what he brings to the Franchise and the expansion, but hes still a really good goalie.

Its a lot for an older player, but I dont bat an eye at this contract. I think its solid for a lot tangible and intangible reasons.
