<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>corson</b></div><div>Because Stamkos is 34 before the 2024-25 season starts the 35+ CBA rule would not apply to him

What is a 35-plus contract?
A contract is designated a 35+ contract if the players age on the first year of the contract is 35 or older (as of June 30 prior to the year of the effective contract).

35+ contracts that are two years in length or longer and:
1. Have a signing bonus in the 2nd or later year, OR
2. Are front-loaded
Will not benefit from a reduced cap hit regardless of the players location of play, termination, retired status, or a buyout. This rule was introduced by the NHL to prevent teams from backloading contracts past when the player was expected to retire. An exception to this rule is that a team will receive a $100,000 cap hit reduction if the player is on the 2nd or later year of the contract and assigned to the minors

I copied and pasted this from this website so I assume this info is correct
So if this is correct then because Stamkos turns 35 in February, TB can sign him to the contract mentioned above and not be liable for the cap hit if he retires after 4 years.</div></div>

ya no.

they got rid of the frontloaded contracts for every contract in the NHL. there can be fluctuation from year to year, but nowhere close to what you're describing. and if that wasn't the case, if stamkos retired after four years the lightning would be hit with a ridiculous recapture penalty.

So no, everything about that deal is illegal and cannot be done. there can't be a difference of more than 25% in adjacent years, and there cannot be more than a 50% difference in any years.
