Tigger said:The Isles have Tavares at a great rate for the next 3 years. Boychuk was always going to get 6 ish on the market. It's a great fit, the cap ceiling should easily absorb some stink on the backend should Johnny become useless, which I doubt. Next year they have 17 players signed at 55 cap dollars ( from what I gather ) and have some talent coming down the pike. They're in good shape.
Yeah but most players decline pretty heavily/swiftly once they hit their early to mid 30s. Robidas was considered very good around the same age that Boychuk is now and when Boychuk's deal expires he'll be a year older than Robidas is now. And I think it overestimates the cap over the next 7 years and it's ability to wipe out/minimize poor deals.
