Seems he gave some now but his next deal will be a big one with that last year at 7.2

Holy moly thats a solid deal.

[Eskimo Brother]

That's amazing for Sergachev. Better than I expected on the AAV, term, back-loading, etc.

[Pengwin7]

TB's value-contracts have really trickled down through the entire club.
Getting Stamkos & Hedman on the numbers they did had a great effect.
Though maybe they've sold the players on their "Florida tax" value too.

Nice number for TB.
Serg shows no signs of being a bust.
Very very solid player.

What happened to the maximum year-to-year variability of a contract being 35%?

That section only applies to front loaded contracts. This contract is back loaded so it would fall under 50.7b:

The following process for determining if a contract is a Front-Loaded Standard Player Contract (SPC) is spelled out in items 50.7(a)(i)(A)-(E) of the CBA:

1) Add up the total salary (including bonuses) of the first half of the contract. (Note: if there’s an odd number of years, take half of the “middle year.”)

2 )Divide the combined salary of the first half of the contract and divide it by half the number of years of the contract.

4)Compare against the AAV of the full contract.

If the “first half average salary” is greater than the AAV, then you have a Front-Loaded SPC.
So we can see 50.7a does not apply

Paragraph 50.7(b) applies to all non-Front-Loaded SPCs and states:

1) The difference in salary between the first two of the SPC cannot exceed the lower of those two salaries.

2) A year-to-year increase cannot be greater than the lower salary of the first two years of the contract.

3) A year-to-year decrease cannot be greater than 50% of the lower salary of the first two years of the contract.


This contract hits all those numbers exactly...

[SeaDawg]

nice contract for both sides. Now they still have to sign Cirelli and Cernak so the real hard part begins.

[PicklePickle]

That was all the money they had...good luck to sign the other 2

[hockeyrobot]

Life saver deal for TB.
