Evgeni Malkin situation: Guerin and Malkin make a deal where Malkin gets 10m this year, but agrees to sign an extension at the end of the year for 2 years at 4.375m per year. This is similar to the Goligoski deal, where Goligoski took 5m for 1 year (massive overpayment) but then took a 2 year 2m per year deal to average out at 3m per year. In Malkin’s case, his deal would average out to 6.25m per year, but it would allow the Wild to give Boldy an extension next offseason while also having a solid 1st line center at a reasonable cap hit.

I don’t know if this would be looked at by the NHL as cap circumvention if Guerin does it again after just doing it with Goligoski but if its not against the rules it would definitely be worth it.
