They are ~$3.5M in the hole now....a bit strange that they didn't leave or make themselves some room this summer in advance of this being finalized. Would like to see Conroy offer up some cap relief for a draft pick here.
For Hughes, the AAV seems like a lot, but the reality of today's league is that a $9M player can be pretty good, but doesn't need to be great with truly elite players earning north of 12M. Deal should be a bargain in 2-3 seasons as odd as that sounds.
