Sure it's great on paper....but I'm not sure how I feel about our top line center making ~1 million less than our second line center. I would have actually preferred to see 5.5-5.75.
Kinda shocked Brisson let him sign this deal
Your entitled to your opinion...but the kid deserved a fair contract for what he does for the organization
He got screwed
When I first read you care about how Dubinsky feels, my thought was "Awwww.....isn't that sweet that he cares about Dubinsky's feelings." Then when I read your fairness equation and getting screwed, I realized that I just disagreed with you. One very big reason why........
Wennberg is 22. If he continues to play in the NHL until he is 28, he will get his opportunity at a UFA contract just like Dubinsky did a couple years ago when he was about that age.
If it's not fair, how can we make it fair that the salary cap 10 years ago was 45-50 million and now it is 73? If your contract takes 8% of the cap, thenfigure out how to get that 8% 10 years from now. I'm just saying you cannot really compare the financial results of two teammates that are 8 years different in their career.
BTW, I don't expect to convince you. Just saying we disagree, and why.
