Why would that change if someone is getting a 80-90% raise? Does their production and contributions go along with that raise?
This organization won a 2nd round playoff game (2015) when our top players like Gio, Monny and Johnny were making approx $6 million combined and 2 were fresh NHLers. Then everybody got a raise and we are still struggling to make playoffs and win a 2nd game in the 2nd round

He’ll likely be a piece we could have used at some point in the next 8 years…
