[CarltonTheBear]

Finally official. That's a huge chunk of change in those signing bonuses.

 

[Kin]

Lot of money to be paying a guy through his early and mid 30's.

Anyways, everyone still gung-ho on Stamkos?

Not everyone...andnot me.

 

[Tigger]

Is that 45m in the first two years?

Is that 45m in the first two years?

No, his actual salary paid over the season in both those years is 5 million in year 1 and 4 million in year 2.

He gets the bonus in the summer in a lump sum I believe.

Yes, even if it's only because I want to have something shiny and nice for a change.
