Holy crap that is a lot of money and term. Please don't be Steven Weiss 2.0, Frans. :(

Frans is awesome but 5.25 per and signed until he's 38 is Not Good

You're giving up assets + the capspace for Nash though, vs just cap space.

I know it's just more responding to the idea people have been throwing around that Nash is unmovable because of his contract

It's not his contract, it's the bad year he had last year when he shot below his usual average...but I'd bet a whole lot that he'll bounce back to be a solid goalscorer next season and after teams lose out on FA's and feel like they still have holes to feel, they'll revisit the idea

remember when last year free agency was boringly sane and everybody got reasonable contracts in term and AAV, and everybody was like "welp i guess nhl gms have learned their lesson about free agency!"

To be fair they already went crazy before free agency this year.

I have to say the best move so far (outside of Campbell and maybe Reimer) is Vancouver getting Eriksson. He's only 30 31 once the fall starts, so the term isn't that big a deal.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

Has there been a single decent signing today with an AAV >$3 million?
