3 years/$12.25MM!?!
http://bruins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?...id=DL|BOS|home
If I were Krejci (3 years/$11.25MM), I would fire my agent.
They basically expect Lucic (17/25/42) to develop into a Dustin Brown (33/27/60) type player. However, Dustin Brown just re-signed this year for $3.175MM for 5 years.
How much does this stupid signing jack up the cost of our RFAs? How much is EJ going to get this offseason?

Re: Holy Massive Overpayment Batman!
It's a valid point. Lee Stempniak had an even better season, signed a 3 year 7.5mm deal, and regressed to the point where that seems like a pretty poor contract now.
I don't see this breaking the contracts of other league players. I mean this Milan is now being paid more than Milan Hejduk, and it's really on par with what Pittsburgh gave Jordan Staal for his potential.

I fail to see how the signing of 1 player in Boston at the beginning of the season will set any precedence for the Blues and EJ down the road.
It's one signing and it's not DiPietro-level ridiculous.
If anything will cause problems, it's those 10+ year contracts w/no trade clauses.
