This is one of the nuttiest Skater contracts I've ever seen.

Feels like Laughton deal. Pretty much the market value.

Laughton wasn't particularly good when he signed that deal, but he was roughly a league average Forward. Howden is distinctly not that.

Looking at the stats I see 20 point bottom of the lineup player. Now that to me looks like a depth player at best and someone I wouldn't be paying the market value for. I mean league is full of tweeners who got payed and proceeded to suck. Look no further than Goodrow. But it's good to see Vegas being dumb for a change.

If you're only worth 2.5 mil you aren't worth 5 years

Well, if you expect him to continue shooting at a 22% clip. . .

He's a notch below Poehling and the same age.

He's not even a major contributor on their PK (1:17, 1:15 last year and this season).
He's not a shut down defender.
If you normalize his Sh%, he's on the same 1.1 pp/60 pace of the previous two seasons.

Yep. I'd have the GM pee into a cup.
