Uh no way that Hugues signs for 6m a year lmao (say thanks to Bowman for this crap tho).

Montreal doesn’t have $12m cap space unless they make a trade

For 3 years? I'd say it's an overpay

If you paid attention to the D market this summer he will get a minimum of 8m per year xd

Those were not three year deals. Those 5 deals of 8+ were 6 years for Makar and 8 years for the rest.

Ignoring whether Hughes is on their level or not this is the difference between a bridge deal and a term deal.

If someone can get 8.5 on an 8 year deal through their prime they'd likely take about 7 mil on a 5-6 year deal as they can get another big deal in their prime. Or take about 5-6 mil on a 2-3 year bridge.

ur high if u think hes worth 8mil on a bridge
