Hughes is getting paid less

Wow this feels premature...

Great deal! By year 2 of that contract he’ll be underpaid! Such a great player

Cool man.

I love comparing contracts that were signed in different seasons when the cap was different.

You hear about how much that Gretzky guy made? Crazy that :: insert name here :: makes more.

In 2-3 years we will be doing this with Sanderson as the Hughes figure

I despise that you are making me defend the 6th in the atlantic senators

Yeah, and Hughes signed 2 years ago before the cap was set to rise significantly. The Hughes deal was good. So is this.

Feel like Branny won't be back next year, if he plays well this year, he will be too expensive to keep around as a 3rd pairing guy, and if he doesn't perform then we have Kleven, Hamonic, JBD already signed to battle for that last pairing. Maybe if they trade Zub, I could see them keeping him around, but that's a stretch. Zub contract would be hard to trade and also Zub is a good fit right now for that second pairing, and being the teams most reliable guy defensively on the backend (Him or Sandy)
