Well, in about 4 or 5 years, $5 million will be the new $4 million, so it isn't that bad.

Hopefully for them, he can maintain his current level of play though. Seems a little risky for this type of player.

Brodie will be an RFA so won't have close to the amount of leverage.

All of the sudden the Wideman deal doesn't look so bad in comparison.

What? Really?

Hes a ~30 point and mostly negative defenceman. Is he a top pairing or even top 4 guy?
