He accounts to 6% cap hit right now, at 6.75 and a cap of 92M (expected in a couple years) he would be around 7%. Through his prime years that isn't terrible. On the back half of an 8 year, the cap % will continue to lower and probably end up sub 6%.
Jfc, why couldn't we sign our 30 year olds to 6 years instead. I miss when 8 wasn't the "norm"

8 years should be the exception. It's getting out of hand. And not just in Calgary. It's a LONG time to commit to anybody.
