Thread: Vegas Golden Knights signed William Carrier (4 Years / $1,400,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DangleCat</b></div><div>You can literally just bury the contract in the AHL then, idk how this contract could really backfire, you want it shorter? Fine that makes sense but it isn't like this deal is gonna be a huge hindrance to their cap at such a low $ amount. Carrier also has really good underlying numbers so even if he doesn't chip in offensively he plays a very responsible game.</div></div>

It won't make or break their cap by itself, but one or two contracts of this type can mean there's only $5M around to offer a player who wants $6-6.5M. You can get Carrier-quality play for less money and certainly less term. Again, he has room to improve his play so he can prove the haters wrong, for sure. He just needs to go do it.
