The honor still goes out to Yashin who is one of I think 4 players who is allowed to make more than the max imposed on the other players because it was grandfathered in but he still has a mindboggling 5 yrs after this one which will bring him to 38yrs old where he'll still be eating up 1/4 of the Isles cap or rather 20% going to just him!!!!
And to think Milbury only had to give up a 20 yr old superstar in Spezza who is already a better player than Mr Floater at a fraction of the cost as well as Chara for the right to bestow this ridiculous deal upon Yashin is just the most riduclous deal in the last 10 yrs at least.
Yashins deal will be an anchor that hangs around the Islander fanchises neck for the next 6 yrs like no other teams mistake!
If the question is what are the worst deal post new CBA then my vote goes to Malakhov at 7.2 million for 2 yrs.Fat Lou really made a ridiculous signing out of desperations are Nieds bolted the team only to see Lou absolutely panic and sign Malakhov-Mcgillis to 3.6 and 2.2 million dollar multi-year deals out of total desperation and I'd love to see all the "Lou is god" posters to try and spin these deals, as well as ALMO's at this point.
