Yeah iminverted his bonus and salary in year 1 (salary was prorated bonus was not). Point stands though
He gave Willy what he wanted and only got the cap hit down because of a cap loophole.
And he gave him more than knies just got relatively.
7m was worth almost 1% more at the time vs 7.75m today. And he needed to pay nylander more than 7per year in every season but the first season (when he got paid more then 7m on an annualized basis) and blow a fucking season to get that.
It was actually 7.6. The holdout brought the aav down, which is a loophole I’m sure they would have rather not needed to avail to.
So they basically signed nylander to the same money that knies just got but on a 79,5m cap vs 95.5m
And to put that in context,
-Willy’s career highs were 22 g...
Nice knies.
Dubas was a fucking lightweight they never should have promoted that guy. He got butt sexed then trampled and then butt sexed again in every contract negotiation. Pathetic stuff really.
Crazy that every other team can get their guys to sign for less. Our three big picks competed more bw each other for $ than against other teams to win.
Laughton is 4’7
These are all longbois. It’s like a Masai draft. They took some kid from China who has only played hockey for six months, a Slovenian and a black kid and just wait till you see their reaches.
What are roys fancy stats? Getting a huge 15 goal two way (im assuming) 3c on a reasonable cap hit would be sweet. Dubas couldn’t even get a 5th for hyman (and then walked away like an idiot from getting a 6th).
They basically said everybody was shit so they just went with big guys. Blame the semen in 2006-2007.
This is after all the draft of man goos and mr cum
