I like the term but 3m is a smidge high for 1 good half a season in his career.

You all do realize he makes 2.2 million this year right? And he has a 400k signing bonus
nice so we basically have an extra 1m cap space?
I love the strategy GMBM seems to be taking here.
somethings up, I wonder if the holtby contract and mojo delay would mean he's attempting to make another trade.
too lazy to look, but when Kuzys contract increases to 3.2 next season, who's contract comes off to absorb some of that increase? chimmer? hopefully a cap increase as well.
The salary raises but the cap hit is the same both years ($3M).too lazy to look, but when Kuzys contract increases to 3.2 next season, who's contract comes off to absorb some of that increase? chimmer? hopefully a cap increase as well.

Oh the cap hit is still 3M? Sorry guys, i thought the 2.2 mil was the cap
Question for the capologists: Why give him a $400K signing bonus rather than just pay him $2.6 the first year. Doesn't seem to affect the cap hit any differently unless I'm not understanding.

The whole point of the RFA system is that Kuznetsov isn't on the open market. His "pedigree" and "ceiling" don't drive up his contract value, especially when there's nobody bidding against you. The team could have elected to take him to arbitration, which would have shielded him from offer sheets.I'm glad they got it done. I though the $2.85M figure everyone was throwing around was too low. Sure he doesn't have a long NHL resume but his ceiling and pedigree are top notch.
Anyone here think he couldn't get $3M on the open market?
