The problem is bonus money and protection.
Ottawa does not like giving its guys that kind of structure
But what Melnyk needs to understand thats how the modern NHL is run. Stars want front loaded contracts with bonus money every year. Like honestly Voracek's contract is a perfect example of how Tkachuck's deal can be structured.
Also the NMC or M-NTC is necessary as if Melnyk gets cheap again whats to stop him in 4-5 years shipping him off to Buffalo
