Not like they have anything else to do with the money. Harmless on a one year. You gotta overpay to get anyone to sign here. I'll go yes here since they've already done well getting assets for cap.
He hasn't played in 2 years! Why is he getting 3 mil?
He must have had some pretty insane seasons in Russia to deserve that much.
He was KHL MVP and then followed it up with top 5 KHL award and sniper of the year award. This guy went off in the KHL, lets see how he does in a top 6 role back in the NHL. Great prove it deal for the Yotes
I think most of the people who said this was a bad deal didn't look at his KHL numbers. The price isn't terrible if he's a bust, but the upside could be huge.
