Renegade Posted July 12, 2013 Not sure who watches hockey here, but this could be a contract discussion. This guy had like a 17 year contract with the Devils. Luckily, the contract is void I believe but they still have a cap hit every year for like 14 more years.... Not sure how much though, but why the fuck would anyone sign someone for 17 years?
