His pay for playing the last year is 1.25 and that is it. After July 1st. He moved here for 12 million reasons as he was only offered 1 year at 6m by the sharks. I would be shocked to see him as a Leaf beyond this coming season. His contract structure is different than Tavaris because of his age as any contract signed by a player when they are 35 years old or older is not eligible to be bought out and spread out the cap hit.
He is retiring as previously agreeded apon I believe and we move his contract to a team that needs to reach the floor.
People also need to remember that we will lose a player to the expansion draft as well.
I don’t disagree with the ultimate idea that he may be gone in 3 years... but I thought the whole point was that he was offered 2 by sis. That’s why we went to 3.... why would we have to give a 3 year deal in comparison to a 1 year. Why not just 2 then?
