It is probably the worst contract though, there's no getting around that.
San Jose's contracts on defense are shockingly bad though:
- Karlsson / 30 years old / 11.5 million x 7 years remaining / full NMC
- Burns / 35 years old / 8 million x 5 years / modified-NTC
- Vlasic / 33 years old / 7 million x 7 years / full NMC

Yikes. San Jose is royally effed for the future.
Not that those three players aren't still good players, but in a year or two, those are going to be some weighty contracts keeping them from being competitive.
