Worth 7 mil for what? His stellar defensive play? His outstanding offensive numbers? His amazing skating ability?
For arguments sake yes he is. The fact a team like Detroit was offering a package means he would likely get that amount as a UFA. He's been a minute eater on a **** team with no other help and no stellar goaltending. I'm not even a fan of his by any means but its straight ignorance to say he couldn't get 7 mil as a UFA by several teams .. on the short term. Its the term that is that issue with his contract.
