Funny to see the over-reactions from folks on the main boards talking about how McCann got paid too much. Sure, let's see you guys keep a goal scorer on pace for 30G on that type of a contract.
I do understand some concerns of him being a true top-6 C but 5M is not top-6 money anyway. Its more like winger money. Once we get better C's, easy enough to slot him back to winger. That makes our team better, not worse. Pretty funny to read the posts though.
A lot of that is from Pittsburgh fans. As one of those as well I don't agree with them at all. This contract may not look good for that particular team but for Seattle it is good. He is finally in a stable position with some responsibility as a team leader and I think he will respond to it well.
