Official numbers:
3 year deal, $3,650,000 annual cap hit.
This is an $800k raise from his current contract of $2,850,000
He turns 34 in January. McNabb will be 37 at the end of this deal
That’s an interesting AAV. I wonder what that does to our cap space going to next season…
Takeaways:
* Little surprised he’s getting extended in the first place, given Korczak’s emergence, but always happy to keep an OG misfit around.
* Here’s one of those “loyalty” contracts we don’t often sign, lol.
* He’s defensively great, and his game’s never been based on speed, so despite his age this contact shouldn’t age poorly unless he just forgets how to play hockey.
* Value is fine with the rising cap.
* Does probably mean Hague (RFA) is gone in the offseason – that kinda sucks, seeing as he’s been our most successful in-house prospect.
Great deal. Probably the most underrated piece on the blue line, if not on the whole team. Not worried about the term at all, not like his game relies on foot speed.
