Here is where you and I differ a little dump. Do I like the contract NO. Do I think in 2 years we are saying this is bad YES. But for now/next year, this is a good move for the Pens. They need dmen like Scuderi. He makes them better next season. Just does.
So I view it two ways. Now is good for the Pens. Helps them. Down the line bad for the Pens. Will hurt them in 2 years unless the cap goes WAY up.
Long term...AWFUL contract. But that is what this day is all about, always has been.
