Hate to start this debate again, but that's agent fail in my mind.
Still don't see how you can see it this way - they can send him to the minors and his cap hit will be $0. At least this way, he has personal protection where he'll make $900k even if he gets passed.

This was a clear win for the agent as he's guaranteed $900k...which may be the determining factor of him staying in the NHL, as opposed to paying him a ton to be in the AHL. If anything, if the owners are wanting to save money, this lessens the chance of our prospects coming up as they will cost much less playing in the AHL, so they will have to outperform him by that much more.
