8 million is what it costs for those guys now....just look around the league.
If you never want to pay them that, then it will forever be a turnstile of players without building something, and you become a feeder system for the rest of the league to pick at.
The game has changed and so has who gets paid and when.
Lowe/Tambellini/whoever started this with the absurd 6X6 deals and we have seen the predictable results of inflation on top of it all.
People point to Dubas signing Nylander and Matthews to their deals, but it all started where all the no goodness starts, Toronto just took it over the top.
