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.
Guy has played one full NHL season and he is 29 this year...jury is certainly still out. I mean they had to do it but this is the absolute most they could have possibly paid.
