I think its going to age just fine, personally, but I'm no fancy 'Big City Capologist.'
Also, guys (not directly dino) he has a differing opinion. Thats fine. We're in uncharted Cap Waters here and only time will tell, can we please keep it relatively civil?
I get where dino is coming from and in a different cap time I'd more than likely agree with him. Even now I dont like the concept of 'Retirement Contracts.' Giving a 29 year-old an 8-year deal does, on the surface, seem pretty unwise. But older players are showing that they can still contribute.
As far Bennett goes? The guy just won a Cup and a Conn Smythe, he was getting $8M from somewhere regardless, what do we care if he gets it from Florida?
