It's possible that he turned down $3.5million/yr, I guess, although we don't know the details. Lots of stuff happens during negotiations.

I'm just saying that $3.5million/yr, plus a first and a third, for an inconsistent guy like Letang is not going to happen. Something like that hasn't happened with any player yet, at least not a young defenseman, that I can recall.

I'm sure RS would rather have Letang at a reasonable amount, but if he had to I bet he'd take the cap space and the picks rather than match the offer.
