I like the player, but i don't like the deal.
Its about 500K more per year then he deserves IMO.

Based on... ? Comparable players have been going in the $4- to $5-mil range as UFAs. This deal buys 4 UFA years. If you give him a Brendan Smith value of $4.35-mil in UFA years, that works out to $3.6-mil in his two RFA years. Pretty reasonable.
AAV may be a tad high but it's for 6 years and he is super important to this team.. No complaints here
In 2 years this will look freaking beautiful. That's high, but i am so happy we got 6 years. The term really benefits the Pens. The $$$ obviously is there to benefit Dumo. While I wish it was ANYWHERE in the 3s
I still like it. I love the term. I am happy Dumo is here for that term. After that, say goodbye and he becomes an Orpik like player.
