    He'll be 45 years old after that ends.

      Devils.


      They are now about 4.6 over the cap. They will need to clear space before TC ends

        For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

          Say what you want about the Sabres but at least they don't give out contracts like that. Yuck.

            It's funny, because usually the Devils are a pretty good model of fiscal responsibility and team-building. This deal just seems completely uncharacteristic of them.

              Seems like a panic move since they know Brodeur doesn't have much time left.

                Or a change in long term strategy to change "systems" once he retires?

                          Well, dumb move by team. I can't fathom signing someone for 17 years.

                            Especially when that someone is already 27

                              They make it that long to take a lower cap hit. It's front loaded but they average out the amount divided by the years. Bucky explains it here
