Likely the opposite. This contract will age well.
Jarome Iginla made 17.95% of the salary cap in 2005/2006.
Kaprizov’s contract will be worth 16.35% of the cap in 2026/2027, and is projected to be 14.98% of the cap in 2027/2028.
I get the shock value of the dollar figure, but % is the key factor to keep in mind as a fan.
The good news? $10.5M 50 point players become closer to fair value every year that goes by with the current cap escalation.
