We’re living in a Covid world, and anyone saying this contract is only about Domi being able to leave in two years doesn’t understand that. We’re going to see A LOT of shorter deals because no one wants a long term deal based on the flat cap.
And the Jackets would be right to not want to do long term on a player who has some issues. They’ve been burned by some pretty bad long term deals.
And I’m sick of this “So he can leave Columbus” bit. It’s old and overplayed. TWO players. It sucked Panarin and Duchene both wanted out the same year, but each had a total of ONE team they did want to play for.
Bob doesn’t count. He left because the Jackets wouldn’t show him the money. Rightfully so.
Anyway, welcome aboard Domi. Glad you were a lot easier to sign than Andy. 5.3 is lower than I was expecting so I’m pretty happy with it. We replaced Wennberg with a massive upgrade for only .4 more cap space.
