Yeah, which is why you don't put together a 9figure contract for him.

There's a reason Josh Hamilton isn't going to get a 200mil contract this year...

pre-existing conditions.

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
