8 years, 6.5 mil. AAV for Bergeron. I really hope the Leafs can now wrap up Kessel for as little.

Great. Now we can compare that to the Bozak and Clarkson "discounts" and cry.

That's a big chunk of change.
Corn Flake said:This is why I don't get all bent out of shape over what Clarkson is making. Clearly there are ways to fit plenty of giant contracts in under the cap.

BlueWhiteBlood said:I'm interested to see what Kessel and Phaneuf are re-signed at. I think Kessel will get 7 million and Phaneuf might take 6 million on an extended deal. If that happened, I think we'd only add what, 500k -1 million overall next season?
That would leave money for Bolland, Gardiner and Kulemin next season also, depending on what they'd sign for.
Corn Flake said:So all in all they are in good shape, assuming the team as assembled is good enough to be at least as good as they were this year and hopefully improving with the kids getting better.
Where things could get tricky this year is if Rielly makes the team. his $1.7 maxed out cap hit could cause some challenges. It's unlikely in either case though.

Maybe, but we can also watch how the Bruins try to get out from what is now a very difficult cap situation. They're $1.3M over going into the season right now with 22 guys signed, but, they're also using their entire bonus cushion - a good chunk of which is made up of easily attainable bonuses in Iginla's contract. They could very well find themselves carrying over a $4M+ cap hit into next season, and I'd say they're a weaker team than they were 2 weeks ago.
Chev-boyar-sky said:As far as I can tell they, if Iginla makes his bonuses this year they're 1M+ over on this years cap.
If they defer the bonuses to next year, they've got 5.5M or so to sign 7 or 8 players (one they'll lose is Iginla and also likely Thornton). Maybe they have more with the Savard LTIR 4.5M, but things are definitely getting tight.
They have lots of good players, but the deals they're handing out will eat away at their depth.

Deebo said:I'm not sure if comparing him to Clarkson is what you were doing here, but for 625k more, I think Brown is the better value.
bustaheims said:Yeah, but, he did have 5 straight 20+ goal seasons coming into 12/13, and with 18 in 46, he was probably a safe bet to hit that mark again if he stayed healthy. He may not be great value at that AAV, but he's not drastically overpaid or anything - especially considering the deal doesn't kick-in until the 14/15 season when the cap could rise significantly. I'd actually be more concerned that he won't be able to last the full 8 seasons than that he'll produce at a value near what he's being paid for the seasons he's healthy for.
Deebo said:Duchene signed a 5 year extension with the Avs too, I don't see the AAV yet.

We won't be getting him for Liles and a 4th then?
