I guess what I was thinking as well is how many of these contracts, in hindsight, are good contracts.
10.5 set the bar for the NHL, first contracts higher than Ovechkin. For each of Toews and Kane was it good, as a reward, or did it really limit Chicago’s competitiveness?
Was McJesus worth spending $2 million more than players who had shown they have what it takes to win s Cup? As a RFA?!?
Now you have point per game players who have accomplished nothing slotting in around 10-11. As RFAs (ex. Matthews, Eichel).
Does that make sense?
