Let's hope he hits them all.
A little much imo.....I like Kurashev but he's not worth that much.....I hope he has a 'break-out' season to deserve that amount........
I would agree if we're cap strapped or it was longer term, but at this juncture they have plenty of money are maybe overpaying a little for time served, and then doubly over paying because in reality he's playing for his next contract as we won't likely do much the next two years till the foundation is set and gelled.
Probably, but that's the risk of letting it get that far....it's why a lot these contracts are settled before the decision is made by the arbitrator.
Bingo. It's a lot for what is essentially a "show me (if you're the real deal or not)" contract, but we (omg, I said "we"! gasp!) can afford it.
I think Hall is here to throw Bedard a bone in terms of a competent top-six linemate. Last year was about icing the worst possible team you could; this year is about icing a competent team that can help and/or protect Bedard. They'll be lucky to make the playoffs this year, but that isn't the goal to start; if they're in the mix by then, maybe Davidson gets aggressive at the deadline; but if not, he'll just sell again. It's another "biding time" year, with pieces specifically brought in to benefit Bedard (and the other propsects') development.
