That’s true, this does make him more tradeable, and it wouldn’t be too outrageous for Seattle to retain 50% of the contract. (At a cost of course)

standard 2nd pairing contract

That was my thought. Two year "rental", so doesn't hurt anyone's cap structure long term, and if Seattle retains salary to send him to a cap tight team, he's only on their books for this year and next. So they should be able to maximize their return on him.

I think he's still RFA after this deal. He's 26 and he has accrued 6 seasons when this deal expires. So he should still be RFA.

Are you Dunn buttering me up?

You can’t touch me, I’m inVINCEible (almost works)

I swear I looked at the signing on CapFriendly and it said that his expiry status was UFA. So either CapFriendly made a mistake and fixed it, or I’m blind.

good dman 2yrs and 4m is fair he didn't have too much luck in st. louis since he didn't want to stay but a good bridge for the 2yrs to see if he can settle with seattle
