And other guys like Larsson and Hjalmarsson are 66?
And with Byfuglien, whose situation is way up in the air with his injuries... who's to say that he shouldn't be a 50 at this point?
I think we just have to live with it.

Hey hey. Let’s not exaggerate. It’s more like 13.5 million
Selfishly, I hope there is a way to lose some of it, especially if a new GM is handed a team, but I do understand having a streamlined process. Just sucks for a first year. Probably have to treat it as a wash, since that is a good chunk of the cap.
