The Duchene one is kinda nuts when you consider:
Buyout = 19.3M spread over 6 years + 2.25M over 3 years for a replacement player = 21.6M
vs.
24M over 3 years
In cash terms it's more like $15.3M vs $20M (though again that 15.3 could become 17.6M if you factor a replacement player
Is saving only ~15% really worth spreading the pain over 6 years?
Kinda shocking there were no takers at 50% for a 65pt pace player this year who scored 43g/86p in 78 gp the year before.
