My guess of $ 21m is based on formenton signing a QO and the next year signing long term, say 5 years x 4m per year. The lack of getting deal done with the sens for one year will have caused formenton the loss of a show me contract, which in turn negated his ability to earn the big money.
Is there a scenario when the Sens called him a rapist in communications with agent and said "we're not signing him and also we're not trading him" and the agents basically left it and didn't tell formenton. In that scenario, the Sens and NHL and all the other teams who signed the alleged gang rapists are culpable for something and that's my conspiracy theory of where this is going.
It's super weird formenton didn't get signed to more than his QO....something happened behind the scenes or maybe his agents were negligent.
