Decent AAV but the term is a bit long.

I really don't get why the Canucks are running towards cap hell when they should still be rebuilding. If the AAV is 3.5 mill, they're left with just 5 for Boeser. They've already given up a first for Miller, a decent supporting player, but will surely be in tight two years from now when Hughes, Pettersson and Demko are looking for new contracts.

What am I missing here? Even after such an active Summer they're at best a bubble wildcard team. Just doesn't make sense to me.
