Also, the Kadri contract doesn't look too bad right now, he's definitely worth his price tag. Backlund signed for 7.15% of the cap as well, that's his current contract that takes him to the age of 35.

Facts cool. So back to the underlying issue, with ~21% of our current cap used with Kadri and Huberdeau who we're probably stuck with, going into a rebuild where today's Zary, Wolf and others drafted will need to be signed, are we comfortable going in with 30% of our cap tied for 7 or so years with Huberdeau, Kadri and Hanifin? I like Hanifin the most of those three to be clear, but we've messed ourselves up by having those first two tied in and in a cap world it's a mess to sign more to long term deals when we'll soon enough have young guys to account for who will need to get paid.
