I guess 8 years is a little long and $10.5M is a little high.

But in reality the cap is $82.5M right now and it'll be a little higher next year, so 12.5% of the cap when the deal starts. What percentage of the total cap will it be in years 6-8?

As long as he doesn't turn into Jamie Benn level of uselessness in the next couple years, he'll be well worth it.
