Did you read what I said? Yes, they won’t matter. Market valuation for the years the players are signing for will matter the most.You dont think the salaries paid to Holloway and Broberg affect the negotiations of your RFAs?
Remember, players often ignore offer sheets when they are negotiating in good faith with a team they like, and have a good relationship with the front office. That wasn’t the case in Edmonton. Armstrong has done a really good job structuring the bridge deals fairly for guys.
