Great idea on the Drew Doughty dilemma

[Destroydacre]

I'd be fine if he signed $8M per for 8 years in LA. Kid's good but he's not worth that much.

Yeah if the Kings want to do that I'd be fine with it. I don't think they'll give Doughty that much money though.

Or maybe this:

Nineteen years, $133,000,000? Cap hit, $7,000,000.

Near the league max this year.

More money in the first five years than Drew Doughty is apparently asking for now ($38MM, instead of $35MM).

A huge bump up to $12MM again in six years (JUST LIKE IF YOU WERE A BIG UFA, DREW!).

An average salary of $10.8MM over the second five years of the deal (like signing a UFA deal in five years for five years at a $10.8MM cap hit).

An average salary over the first nine years of $9.11MM, which is several million more than the Kings earlier nine year offer.

An average of $7.5MM for the next four years, taking him to age 35.

And a tail taking him through the "Lidstrom/Bourque" years never going lower than $2MM per year.

I don't know. Is Drew in Rick Dipietro's league yet?:

How about they don't give him dick until he proves that 2010 wasn't a fluke?
