I think a wee bit less but maybe.
Can't work for us. Too much risk in having that much commitment in one guy.
Would leave no room for two years or worse.
Just hate to see this league trying to compete with other sports that can deal with super contracts.
I'll be crunched for saying this but I'd like to see a max limit of 8 mill no matter how good the player is.
That would include bonuses.
Sounds tough but you have to think of the long term health of the league, sorry
I hear you have concerns over the cap hit, but think about it micky, three players on our team carry more than that cap hit total currently (Vrbata, Burrows and Prust), two of them are about to jettison off July 1st, and probably burrows at the draft - back to his motherland in Montreal or AV vouches for him for the NYR, either way it seems his time has come to move on.
Get rid of the overpaid depth cash/roster spots and re-allocate that money to a superstar sniper the likes we haven't seen since Bure.
Plus in two years $14M will be off the books with the eventual Sedins departure, just in time for the young guns new contracts kick in.
That or the twins re-sign for cheap for another year in 2018, if we are close to a Cup opportunity.
Forget tanking my peoples, that's so 2015, go big or go home I say.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
good call hw.
