Hasn't played close to a full season yet and only played 46 games this year due to injury. I worry that he won't play enough to warrant this contract.
Maybe I'm out to lunch, but this is exactly the type of player you bridge because he has a ton of risk in his game still.

Because PPG players are only getting $8 mil these days? Guy was on pace for 40 goals. Comments on this thread remind me of the Tage Thompson thread.
This is a very good deal for Montreal. Health was an issue this year but he's a lethal goal scorer and could put up 40-50 if he stays healthy.
