Benning will protect his shitty signings.
One of the names on this chart played in the Conference Finals last season.
Clarkson will bring leadership and restore dignity to Quebec City

Bozak and Lupul will look excellent in Nordiques bleu.
At this rate Benning will be out of a job by then.

NMC though I recall that becomes void if a trade occurs?
That's beside the point!
Yeah I have no idea. Goddamn is that contract an albatross. All the front office had to do was insure Horton's contract and things would be even brighter. Just thinking of how much better the team could be with an extra $5.25 million in cap space. Then again, they probably would've just thrown that money at Franson and called it a day. Oh well, BJs are probably a consistent playoff team with a first-round or second-round win scattered around for the next 3 seasons. The best chance at being a cup team probably happens when Werenski, Carlsson, Heatherington, and Palliotta develop.

Can't see Stamkos not getting $10 million now.
I don't like a lot of these crazy deals, but Voracek is really damn good.
Stamkos will get the same deal as Kane and Toews.
Lou will find a way

That is a lot of money for Voracek. $8M+ AAV is elite territory. It's more than Tarasenko and identical to Getzlaf's AAV.
That is fine because Voracek is elite

I downloaded windows 10 on my laptop. Then reverted back to 8.1 because my laptop wouldn't connect to the internet.
No he's not.
He's not elite, give me a break. His linemate Giroux is elite.
His WOWYs suggest he makes Giroux better, not the other way around.
His even strenght p/60 is 2.13, Giroux's is 1.43.
As per 67sound:
2011-2015, Vorachek w/ Giroux: 55.1%CF, 57.1%GF; Vorachek w/o Giroux: 51.7%, 57.1%; Giroux w/o Vorachek 49.2%, 49%.
They both compliment each other. If Voracek didn't have Giroux, his numbers wouldn't be nearly as good.
I mean in couple years in his prime then he could be elite, and this contract would look pretty good; but right now it's a little too much.
He scored quite a bit more than Tarasenko did, and he was a UFA.
Tarasenko got 7.5 as a an RFA after scoring 135 points in 179 games (0.754 P/G). Jake put up 189 points in 212 games (0.892 P/G).

Zero is already sharpening his knife.
Voracek was easily the better ES player of the two last season, but those numbers are a bit misleading. Giroux gets thrown out for DZ draws a lot because he's by far our best faceoff guy, so his ES OZ start % was a lot lower than Voracek's.

60.7 for Voracek, 53.6% for Giroux.

Getting Stamkos for $1M/year would be a steal.
See, Brandon Saad? Youd still be in Chicago if you were a team player like this.

Less likely to get shot, more likely to die of boredom.
What are the chances Stamkos walks away from TBL?
Do you think TBL trades Stamkos at trade deadline if things aren't going right?
There hasn't been a UFA of that caliber in at least 5-7+ years.
EDIT - Actually I'm trying to think of a similar UFA/free agency signing since league started in 04. Where the player was still so young.
EDIT 2 - Zdeno Chara
