Yes a lot of players took discounts that year. Teams simply didn't have the cap-space with the cap not increasing. Hoffman signed a 1 year $4M. Barry for $3.75M. The bottom line is that a lot of bargain deals were signed and we get 3 of them in Markstrom, Tanev, and Toffoli. It's funny that they were all playing for the Canucks the year before too.
