More that he's a guy you'd normally sign on 1 and 2 year deals which keep going up and would keep going up further with the cap. Doing what they've done now means that's locked in instead of being 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 4 as the cap goes up and means that extra they'd be laying out later is still free for the likes of Rants. Salaries do tend to follow a percentage curve so a 1.5 mil guy now is going to be a 4 mil guy in 2 or 3 years time even with no major progression in their play if the cap goes up 4 to 5 mil each year. From Wood's angle he gets the security of the money with the NTC whilst being with a competitive team. One of the reasons he's unlikely to get moved imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Spyeye</b></div><div>T isnt' a backup. As I see it he beats Georgie for number 1. Walker isn't manson's replacement. Xhekaj is. Yes I had to over pay for Walker. I like him and was willing to go higher. The Avs have to get cheaper. Evans and X fill holes. I like Colton and Wood but they have to go for Salary space.</div></div>

A lot of totally unnecessary moves that make the team overall weaker imo. That's before factoring in that Columbus would reject the trade and you have Tarasov as back up on your roster. Were you acquiring him to be starter then you'd logically move Georgiev and save cap space that way. Xhekaj isn't Manson's replacement bar the ability to drop them. Walker is and that's a big overpay for a guy who in my opinion wasn't a great acquisition. Saying the Avs have to get cheaper and then signing Domi to be 3C at that price as well? More expensive than Colton and less of a 3C. Signing Walker for more than Manson? That D gets caved in on a pretty regular basis. Utterly barmy!
