Good addition of grit. And nice short-term addition. BUT...SEVEN years at 6 million??? I knew Lucic, Ladd, Ericson would ALL be signed too long for too big a Cap hit. And this is a prime example. Lucic must be 30 or so and plays hard minutes.....2-3 years from now, it won't be pretty.....

I don't know if he's missed a game due to injuries over the last 4-5 seasons... And he's only 28. I'm very happy with this deal.

He just turned 28 a few weeks ago.

He'll be 32 in the 5th year of his deal

I'd like Gryba back over Fayne.

I don't get the signing bonus phrase.

Is his signing bonus 20M, and he is making 3M per Year?

Better scenario:

Sign Lucic to 7 yrs, 42 million and trade Hall for Larsson

OR

Sign Staal to 3.5m AAV and Stewart to 1.15m AAV, trade RNH for Barrie...

Makes it nearly buy out proof. Clarksons was structured similarly.

Don't really understand how he can have a "full NMC" for all 7 years but an NTC for 2 of them...

Isn't the bonus thing done so that the contract becomes more or less buyout proof?

Full NMC for 7 years and half is in bonuses so that makes buyouts difficult.

Its actually a nasty NTC/NMC he is pretty much trade proof, should his skills go south.

Cuz teams he will want to go to will not need to get to the cap floor.
