[Signing] Carolina signs Semin to 5 year deal, $7mil per

[AR_Six]

Agree that this is a brutal deal. Would have made more sense to trade him at the deadline. The whole point of 1 year 7 mil is you either keep him and make a run or trade him and get a couple of picks for no risk. This is an incomprehensible move.

Welcome to comfortable Semin CAR. Yikes they just made a huge cap mistake especially if CAR slips back to be a losing team, hell they are only on the bubble. Wait till they fall to 13th 14th Semin will just become a huge 7m cap hit for the next 5 years.

Someone went to the Sather school of negotiating...

Semin: I've proved myself, I'd like a deal for 3 years around $5m per...
Rutherford: I can't agree to that! How about 5 years at $7m per?
Semin: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder how many people in this thread actually watch Hurricanes games? I know I don't.

So you never watch him play and admit you have no idea if he is worth the contract or not, yet you felt comfortable enough to basically accuse everyone else of bigotry.

That says a great deal about you, and none of it good.
