The players deserve at least half the credit. Demi signed a few months ago. Hutson last year. Even then the rising cap was obvious.

All parties including the Habs GM acknowledged money was left on the table in order to improve the roster.

The pressure now shifts to Kent Hughes. If he fucks it up, he’ll be facing a mutiny

Players will get Ballmer style gifts minus the fuckery along the way

I don’t know this for sure and I’m too lazy to ask Claude, but if you sign all your players to perfectly fair deals, won’t you end up with a perfectly average team?

I mean no, not really. Unless you are assuming that every team has a #1 centre, and a superstar winger, and a #1 defender etc... Also, every team would need to be spending to the max cap.

I don’t think they were “dumb”

They/their agents are on the record, basically saying they’re taking a risk that taking less will lead to Cups.

If it doesn’t work, they’ve got another huge pay day coming in their late 20s

Exactly they are fucking loaded before they are 30 and paid in USA funds giving them a 35% bump in CDN funds

80-90 % payout every July 2

Players didn't take shorter term and removed all future risk while getting life security right now

I guess spending to max cap won’t be as universal going forward
 
Quinn proving that he is infinitely smarter than McDavid.

Guy who got traded for a ton and played 5 minutes for his new team is not committing.

Guy who got drafted by the worst team to get drafted by and served more than a decade of elite service, commits a year early to burn another couple of prime years at a discount.
