Well that's stupid. Going by that logic I can't compare Kaprizov to anyone because he's the first big name free agent to sign with the cap going up this year.
Would Barkov get more now than then? Sure, because he's won 2 Selke's and 2 cups, but his point production hasn't significantly changed since then, and that's what usually gets you a bigger salary. It doesn't really change the nature of my point, which is that putting too much money into a single superstar player isn't the best strategy for team building, no matter how good that player is *cough* McDavid *cough*.
But thanks for calling me childish as I attempted to engage in a meaningful conversation. Super productive. Back to the ignore list you go.
