Philippe Myers a signé un contrat de 1 ans d'une valeur de 1 400 000 $ avec les Lightning de Tampa Bay, le 26 août 2022. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 1 400 000 $.
Even in the minors, he's got a $250,000 cap hit. It's not much, but given his track record so far, it more than the Lightning needed to pay.
Extremely minimal risk. If he plays like TB's management thinks he can it's a steal.
That's almost half what he's paid this year. This is a major pay cut to keep playing for Tampa smart move from Myers
Not so much to "keep playing for playing for Tampa". but after being waived an not claimed last season, 1.4m might be the best offer he would have received.
But often playing on a good team with good players "ups" your game, so you're right, that could have his reason to stay with Tampa
