As far as the buyout goes,
it just depends on when that $$$ is due
If most of it is paid on the early years,
a buyout is still very doable
Those types of bonuses are going in contracts now so that the players cover themselves if there's another lockout
They wouldn't get the salary, but still would get the bonuses

He got a $70 million dollar signing bonus...making his actual salary $14 million total...its buyout proof |

He is the most underrated center in the league in my opinion because it's always been about Ovechkin. |

When I think "franchise" I think super elite, cream of the crop. Maybe it's just a difference in definition of the word "franchise".
Those guys are all #1 centers (give or take Giroux) but for me franchise is only a few
- chilliard77
All of those guys have been at some point. |

Turgeon was a franchise center but he wasn't elite...
You're using the wrong term |

Yeah, "at some point" is my point. I'm not sure they will be going forward |

Yeah but my point is if he were a franchise center, his team shouldn't have trouble at least making the playoffs every year
- chilliard77

Tavares has done Richard all in the playoffs, that's what I'm saying in this quote. Not that making the playoffs is the benchmark of being an elite player.
So yeah, that wasn't my argument |

Tavares is on a Hall of Fame trajectory...
I have no idea what else you want |

Why did we sign another ahl goalie. Is this just insurance or is lehner on the way out?
We have:
Lehner
Chad
Ullmark
Johansson
Suckdorf
And now Wilcox

A franchise center is someone you can build a team around. Tavares is exactly that.
Key words there are build and team...but yeah cause he doesn't make the playoffs he isn't a franchise center?? Come on |

In the past I think Tavares has been, but this all started because I questioned whether he will be going forward. His lat two seasons have shown a decrease. |

I could see him scoring 80 (points) next year if Eberle and him mesh. But I could also see him scoring 60 if it goes badly |
