1. They sure aren't setting him up to feel disenchanted here by playing him 14-15 minutes/game in the top-6 since January 1.
2. It would be quite magical if the league decided that a huge signing bonus for the 20-21 season included in the player's cap hit for the 20-21 season wouldn't count against the cap for the 20-21 season after it was paid out.
3. Your numbers are wrong. He would be walking away from $2.5 million/year over the last 2 years of the deal if it was terminated after the bonus payout.
4. How many contracts in NHL history have been mutually terminated years ahead of time with $millions still owing? Surely this must happen all the time if it was so easy to get out of bad contracts and players were so willing to do it.
1. As I made abundantly clear already numerous times, the bigger question is whether or not Benning is willing to ice Loui Eriksson to the minors.
2. So worst case scenario, you're out from under $9mil in cap over 2 years?
3. I'm talking about the money Loui gets, not what his contract is on paper. He's walking away from around $1.3mil in cash, per season. What would you guess Loui's net worth to be? Somewhere in the neighbourhood of $50-70mil?
4. We saw Bogosian walk away from over $1mil a few days ago, because he didn't want to go to the AHL.
Do you really think Loui Eriksson would ride busses in Utica for 2 years, to earn $1.3mil in after tax money per year? Does it really sound 'magical' that he wouldn't be willing to do that?
