And a NMC.
|
That crap needs to stop. A partial NTC? Maybe. But these full NMCs on old players, middling players, etc...needs to stop. It completely handcuffs the team. I understand the player wanting it, but you know what - too bad. It would be one thing if it typically came with a massive discount on AAV, but here it seems not only do we pay absolute top dollar (and beyond) and way too much term - we compound it with these ridiculous NMCs...
Again I ask a question I've been asking for 20 years: Are Oilers GMs not aware they are allowed to NEGOTIATE?
If Ekholm was settled at $4M per with a full NMC as a hobbling 35 year old Dman.
and with Frederic they "settled" on 8 years, $3.85M per year with a full nmc for 4 years and then a 10 team trade list for the next 4.
WHAT THE HELL was the original ask from the player/agent?!?!?!?!
