I think this is where cap growth hits us.
$6M players aren’t 70 point guys anymore, and that’s what Verhaeghe is. Back to back 70+ point seasons + strong (Stanley Cup winning) performances?
The 6 year term is also not the typical 8 years you’d see on a player like this. This deal takes him to 35 (I think), that makes this relatively low risk as there shouldn’t be any “dead years” on the back end.
