Neal 1 year older, contract 1 year longer.
I might prefer the term over the AAV cap savings, but not the acquisition cost.

Not much difference in those numbers, other than a few assists.
And it isn't 1 year longer, because Pacioretty has a year left on his old contract. So call it $6.6M for 5 years (that's what it will cost Vegas)
That's almost a million more per season, for a handful of assists. And they had to give up multiple prospects to do it.
