((So, the actual yearly salary amounts are fine. In Yellowknife we are doing the same for a lot of the rookies, helping them buy their starting gear and get ahead financially, then dropping their pay for yr 2 and 3 so we can do the same for next year's rookies.
I feel that their should have been an either or approach here. For example, we are willing to pay that amount if you drop the player option, or we are willing to let you have the player option if the S2 salary is low and then 3 and 4 are higher.
Also, when considering pay, remember that Perry Tucker was effectively given a $4 million dollar bonus to switch to a position of greater need, and Matt's cap hit is no longer as high-ranking.))
