Salary Cap: Kessel @ 5.4 and Seguin at 5.75 -Any bigger bargains recently?

[BigGoalBrad]

Not talking about any ELC players or third line players like Peverley on the contract he had when we traded for him who made under 3 million and produced like well paid guys.

In terms of legitimate star players in the league who are going to command in excess of 4 mil per year since 2009 has their been a bigger bargain than what Kessel made up until last year and what Seguin makes now?

Seguin is going outscore Stamkos and Crosby at 60% of what they make and Kessel averaged over 31 goals a year on a 5.4 mil deal.


Any better bargains on established players over the last 5-6 years?

This thread has the distinct potential to go nowhere and to get there quickly.

OP? I'd suggest if there's a point, that it's gotten to.

I'd take John Tavares at 5.5 any day of the week over either one of them.

And I don't see the point of this thread? Maybe better suited for the main board? This just seems like a subtle "Haha, I told you so" to Bruins fans or something. So you're telling me a guy drafted 2nd overall and 5th overall got paid early and now they outperformed that contract? Cool.

^^ To MMB, the entire point is a subtle jab at the fact that we don't have either guy anymore. That's it. It's cherry-picked on purpose.

The Ghost of Iginla collecting $4.79 Mill for not being here this year is a pretty sweet deal, right?

Loui Eriksson at 4.25

Seriously, not many better bargains than Carl last year and this (so far) for $1m per.

If Kelly maintains pace and gets 50 pts

I've given the OP a chance to prove this thread is anything but what SC said it is. I don't see anything.

PM me with the point. This thread is closed otherwise.
