Then I'd rather give him 8x6 mil. Been saying it for a while, his stats are similar then Scheifele's first 3 years.
Problem for Bots might actually be our cap space this year, if you pay samson 6 mil we barely have cap room left.
Next year we got pommer and Moulson coming of the books, but we'll have to pay Skinner and Samson their big deals.
We are tighter against the cap than some think. Zemgus/larsson might give us a bit of breathing room but the ugly contract is that of Okposo.
If he doesn't start performing again its real ugly.
CURRENT CAP SPACE : $6,465,476
DEADLINE CAP SPACE : $30,064,463
TODAYS CAP HIT : $73,034,524

I see more like a 1x 5 mil deal being worked for Samson because of our cap space. Unless he is confident he can get rid of 2/3 of Larsson, Girgensons, Hunwick.
