OUCH! |
Sorta similar stats path to Patrick Marleau though. At the least the Preds are allocating some money to keep their own guys. Hopefully they don't leave themselves open to getting poached for Suter/Weber this offseason.
Let's not forget that Legwand was Nashville's first draft pick ever. He didn't have a ton of talent to work with his first few years there--naturally he's not on the level of say Heatley, Kovalchuk, etc who could produce on expansion teams.
And in a world where the Michal Handzus', Scott Hartnells, Bobby Holiks can command multiyear deals for 4 million, I don't find this contract particularly that bad.
