If McAvoy is worth over 9 million a year

What the hell is Fox worth? Yikes! Another reason why dumbass Gorton got fired. The stupid bastard should have locked him up after year one when it was obvious he was a really, really, good defenseman. He waited, now the dumbass is going to cost us over 10 million.

Fish on OTG said that maybe you can't extend a player until the last year of their contract. If that is a rule, it's fucking moronic and the players need to get rid of that in the next CBA.

It is the rule. Can only extend with one year or less left on their current deal.

That’s a terrible rule they need to get rid of that.

Its a rule that seems to benefit the young/improving players. Not sure why they would want to get rid of it.

As soon as you draft the player they are your property you should be able to do whatever you want with contracts. If a player plays one year and has a chance to get long term security he should be able to do that
