Thread: Buffalo Sabres signed Tage Thompson (7 Years / $7,142,857 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>Maybe, maaaaybe (big maybe), he lives up to this contract, but he sure as sh*t won’t ever outplay it. I really like Kevyn Adams, but this was a horrid move</div></div>

No offense man, you sound like someone who hasn't been paying attention to hockey since the cap.

His contract will be the 74th biggest hit starting next year. From now until next season, how many players sign extentions for a bigger cap hit? That will drop his hit even lower than 74th. Last year he finished 54th in scoring. So even if he dips, he will still be producing to the level of his contract.

38 goal scoring center. Yeah, a little over 7 million is nowhere near an overpayment in today's NHL.

More important, this was a tale of two seasons, pre Tuch v post Tuck:
Skinner pre Tuch 30 games 9 goals, 8 assists, 17 pts; post Tuch 50 games 24 goals, 22 assists, 46 pts.
Thompson pre Tuch 27 games 10 goals, 8 assits, 18 pts; post Tuck 48 games 28 goals, 22 assists, 50 pts.
While Skinner and Thompson were off and running, projecting their early performance over 82 games to 25 and 30 goals respectively.
But post Tuch they are running at nearly a point a game with their goal production over 82 games projected at 40 and 48 goals respectively.
