So 8.7 million / yr. Not surprising for one of the most visible players in the league. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 28, 09:53
Isn't he a strong breeze from another concussion? -- nm - amoxy Jun 28, 09:50
I thought the NHL was trying to stop the nonsensical contracts? (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:50 10
- best player in the League IF he can stay healthy...and lately that has been a big if. -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 09:50 9
  - If he hits his head again, he'll be done -- nm - decline Jun 28, 09:55
  - 12 years is the nonsensical part, it seems to me. (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:52
  - Yeah, which is why you don't put together a 9figure contract for him. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:52 6
    - MLB contracts are guaranteed. NHL ones are not completely guaranteed. That's the big difference. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:53 2
      - I was sort of wrong. The contract is guaranteed but can be bought out at 1/3 or 2/3 of the price of the remaining years depending on age. -- nm - spamlet Jun 28, 10:02 1
        
        So, at a minimum, he gets $34 million no matter what happens to him. That's...bold. -- nm - David Jun 28, 10:10
    - I have to believe there are protections built into the contract. - David Jun 28, 09:53 2
      - I'm just trying to imagine going to the insurance company for that one. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:54 1
        
        No insurance company would insure the contract, I'm assumign David means injury-related opt-outs. - musubi Jun 28, 09:55
