Imagine having a discussion in any other context where you would say "9 million dollars doesn't matter" and yet it has become routine on Calgarypuck to act like actual cash doesn't matter. It's the most important part of contracts, not the least.
These are the same owners who tried to rip off Calgarians in their last deal with the City because they are cheap (or good business people, depending on your view).
And did you forget about Kotalik? They could have just buried him, instead they threw him with negative value because for some weird reason the team likes money.
For a lot of teams 9M is the difference from making money and losing money on the team. It's absurd to pretend it doesn't matter.

Eeesh. Take it easy there bud, throwing out terms like 'terrible take'. That's enough for me to pass on responding to you with level headed thoughts regarding the actual topic.
