and 9m is a lot different than 6+m... I mean do you think Miller will be worth 9m when he's 35, 36 and 37? I certainly do not.35 is a lot different than 41 lol
He's a fitness freak that has missed a lot of games to illness and injury up to age 35. I don't see that getting better past age 35.Meh, the dollars for Letang aren't bad. He's a guy that will be in great shape until he's 40. Guy is a fitness freak. He won't finish that contract in Pittsburgh for sure, but he'll still be an effective player for most of that contract.
Now sign Malkin to the same deal and let then wallow in purgatory for the next 3 years.
That is a good deal.Geo to Colorado for a 3 and 5 in 2022
In Drury we trust.Geo to Colorado for a 3 and 5 in 2022
That would be very bad for the Penguins. If it's front-loaded, it counts as a 35+ contract, and the contract stays on the books even if he retires. It's much more likely that the salary is the same each year, with signing bonuses in the early years.Deal is prolly front loaded and Letang get 90% of the money in 4 years and retires.
I'm sure its a frontloaded deal. He can be LTIR'ed and then retire if he lands another serious injury.He's a fitness freak that has missed a lot of games to illness and injury up to age 35. I don't see that getting better past age 35.
