9.5 in tampa is like 13 in Toronto..
You can't compare with players signing in Tampa.
Tavares turned down 13 mil to come to Toronto and you don't think salaries have spiked lol. Salaries are going up every year, Marner would laugh at 7 mil.
It's crazy how so many of you are so off the mark with what's going on with NHL salaries, i will be here to tell you "i told you so" when the players sign the contracts.
And the contracts will be deserved and make sense for the players, they hold all the cards, what is so hard to understand about that?
