I agree with you, but the contract that have been handed out lately, that is total in alignment with the insanity that has been going on.

What this does do is force teams into a situation of economic disparity on the hockey team, and making sure they pay the big salaries to the guys that are definitely going to produce. You don't feel bad about paying McDavid $12M+ a season, because he's going to produce. You have to be concerned about paying the Matthew Tkachuks out there the $9-10M a season because their production is not a sure thing.
