He is not taking 4. He wants 6.

Maybe he settles for 5.

However someone will give him 6. Problem for him will be that it won’t be a contender and not with another star that wants to play with.

Disagree - TBay isn’t big into bonus structured contracts they tend to limit to 30% or less. Even w CBA limit reduced from 90% to 60% of contract value.

Habs are not shy to hand out heavy bonus structured contracts. 🇨🇦 / 🇷🇺 do not have a tax treaty - 🇷🇺 does not tax its pro hockey players & 🇨🇦 only taxes based on physical time spent on 🇨🇦 soil
