BTW, this was his post-bridge deal AND they are buying 7 years of UFA. Sabres already banked some savings last year and this season on his bridge.
Fox, Heiskanen, Hughes, Sanderson and Makar never signed bridge deals, so those teams were buying less years of UFA.

Right, so if he regresses back to that, he is overpaid by 2 million-ish? That’s really nothing notable or even worth discussing if that’s the worst contract a team has.
Productive players that are scoring 30 goals and overpaid a bit aren’t contacts that disrupt a cap structure of a team.
Anothwr addition of front-loaded cap stucture on nhl and one more team to show in the future that this will not lead the team to success.
Yeah, except the problem here is Dahlin can live up to the deal and be making $11M in the '31 - '32 season, whereas if Matthews lives up to his deal he'll likely be asking for $15M+ from '28 - '29 to '31-'32...
... What exactly do you think "Front-loaded" means in terms of NHL contracts?

Shoulda got one game in

In terms of production, (P/PG) he was literally the very 5th best.
Good luck with 40 goal Matthews for 13.5

Assuming he continues with his upward trajectory both offensively and defensively...what team do you think he gets traded to in a few years and then goes on to win the Cup immediately?
A Steal ?!
None of these 10.5-11.5 mil. Type deals are a steal !
He's good, not 11 mil good.

Man that Sanderson 8M for 8 year contract looks even better now seeing that Buffalo had to overpay big time on Dahlin 
I'm sorry but in what reality is Rasmus Dahlin worth $11 million???

Well Sanderson isn't even better than Powers so not sure why your comparing him to DahlinMan that Sanderson 8M for 8 year contract looks even better now seeing that Buffalo had to overpay big time on Dahlin
The Sens overpaid Sanderson 1-2M similar to Dahlin at full term.
Both are deals players can grow into with continued development
Difference is Dahlin is a tier higher than Sanderson so his deal being higher pre-potential is correctly going to be higher
Anybody locking up an elite player to a max term deal at or just above current market value is getting a steal right now.
Sanderson has done f*** all to prove he's on the same tier as Dahlin lol.Man that Sanderson 8M for 8 year contract looks even better now seeing that Buffalo had to overpay big time on Dahlin
Can you explain, how does this refer to my comment? There was comparison of salaries from pre-cap era and then comment and "yeah, there is cap now, BUT....."
Like cap would just make a tiny detail here..

Not for the first couple years of the contract but for the final six years, as the cap goes up, then it’s a good deal.Man that Sanderson 8M for 8 year contract looks even better now seeing that Buffalo had to overpay big time on Dahlin
The stars should not be making almost as much as they did when revenues were 1/8th what they are today.

No, what's embarrassing is comparing a third contract signed right before the cap thaws out, which buys 7 UFA years, to two second contracts that were signed while the league was still in a state of complete financial uncertainty thanks to COVID regulations.
