Or, how about…

Nineteen years, $133,000,000? Cap hit, $7,000,000.

  • Near the league max this year.
  • More money in the first five years than Drew Doughty is apparently asking for now ($38MM, instead of $35MM).
  • A huge bump up to $12MM again in six years (JUST LIKE IF YOU WERE A BIG UFA, DREW!).
  • An average salary of $10.8MM over the second five years of the deal (like signing a UFA deal in five years for five years at a $10.8MM cap hit).
  • An average salary over the first nine years of $9.11MM, which is several million more than the Kings earlier nine year offer.
  • An average of $7.5MM for the next four years, taking him to age 35.
  • And a tail taking him through the “Lidstrom/Bourque” years never going lower than $2MM per year.
