Uncle Scrooge
Hockey Bettor
I don't think the contract was that bad to be honest.
3.5M with the cap going up for a guy who has had several top-6 worthy seasons as far as production, and did well with Tampa last year down the stretch after the trade deadline.
We all know he's not a perfect player, but even if he ended up as 20/20 type of guy bouncing around top 6 and 3rd line with some PP time, it would've been fine.
But there's no way around it, he's been brutal. One of the many things that went wrong for the Islanders this year.
