> By the way, I hear that Tampa’s last offer to Killorn was eight years at a $2.5 million AAV, which is $20 million total regardless of whether he actually would have played the entirety of the contract. I love that Tampa tried that. But in the end, you also get why Killorn took the $25 million, four-year deal in Anaheim.

i’ve got no questions for Mr. BriseBois.
Honestly that’s probably the most I’d pay killorn at this stage for a deal longer then 3 years. Even at that case by the end of the contract it would be rough. He is going to decline soon pretty sharply
Honestly, that’s pretty damn close to what the ducks offered him, but this way he can cash in, and come home in 4 years on a sweetheart deal…
…Just in time to win a 3rd cup with this core.
Any questions? No. Okay cool it’s decided.
Edit: I love y’all’s optimism. I wish I shared it but I love it none the less.
How much taxes is he paying in CA though
lol. well, easy to see why he didn’t take that deal. more pay for half the years. no brainer
wonder what their final offer to palat was. probably 8 x 3.5 or something
With cost of living and income taxes in California $2.5million AAV in Tampa is equivalent to about $3.5million there. He signed for $6.25million aav so overall a better deal for him even though it’s a shorter term deal
