The ten games threshold has become a common condition. The value of the contract is a bit unusual in part because he is much younger than most players with such a deal.
Yah I guess I got to stop thinking about the $3 million next year as a bonus based on 10 games... But rather view it as a $4 million contract being paid over 2 years. I dunno... Still an awful contract nonetheless.
Brown is nothing like Kane and his salary is a joke based on his accomplishments.
Which I contend if the team is still bipolar and on the outside that is what they need to do this year. He as royally screwed this team next year out of a decent roster player for the worst forward in the nhl this year. Brilliant.
He was just a poor gamble. He scored 40 points once in his career a few years ago, and the injury completely derailed him. They basically gave him the contract reserved to a 2nd or elite 3rd liner.
There is no difference between deferred dead cap and current cap. It's just a matter of how it is distributed. The point was that you had a choice for this year to either go with a guy who was suppose to be a $4M player or a $775 replacement level player and save the cap space for next year. Either you make the team better this year or next is the choice. In such a case, with a team that is suppose tp be a contender the best choice is maximize the team now and deal with next year when it comes. And even with the carry over, the team should have had cap flexibility next year to improve the roster. The real issue is that Brown is not living up to the $775M price tag, let alone the $4M. If he was sitting with 7 goals and 20 points right now I doubt anyone would be complaining.

Yep, some of comments made from certain posters in regard to people that were questioning this signing from the onset are hilarious. I hope they feel shame and don’t come out so aggressive the next time someone has a differing of opinion.
At first I was like "Okay we signed a guy for cheap with performance bonus, that should be fine. He performs we pay, if not or well. Low risk!"
Kassian without the physicality. Seemed pretty clear a Connor Brown coming off extensive injury that caused him to miss a whole season was going to be tentative. He wasn't that good anyway and was years off his best. He ran worse than Yamamoto type numbers his last year in Ottawa. Hardly anybody even glanced at that it seems.
meh, a lot of the same posters thought signing Klim Kostin to a multi year overpay would've been a good idea too and look pretty stupid too
Or ironically Chiarelli. There was always a brand of poster here that would be supporting any gong show move the Oilers made. People were telling me to F-OFF for suggesting Nicholson was a do nothing manager that was way past it.
Thank you. Deserves to be said. The interesting thing is the same people, none of them have come here to even acknowledge anything. Its just convenient to hive mind pile on posters that have differing take. A lot of that went on.
which would mean moving campbell which would cost quit a bit more. Chicago is probably one of the few teams that would even consider taking on campbell. what would the oilers give up to get him off the books. holloway and 1st and hawks send taylor raddsyh back $758AAV, then RFA.
lol. Kostin is in a numbers game in Detroit on a deep team not getting the promised toi. Still at least he's scored a couple in limited minutes and hash't been a blackhole there like Brown.
