Hi
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.

If I could have prime Iggy, or Kaptizov, I take Iggy every time. For many reasons. Kaprizov will not stick up for team mates, or fight guys like Ben or Hatcher when needed. Iggy was a leader.
I think Minnesota will do ok with this contract but I think it’s too much.
