I'm not sure if you're a Devils or Rangers fan, but that's about what it amounts to.

The vast majority of NHL contracts are frontloaded or backloaded.

In fact, those contracts, since they're not 35+, are technically more of a cap circumvention risk than Pronger. Funny how that works eh?
Are you kidding? Lundqvist is making over 5M the last year of his contract. It was frontloaded to give him a bit up front. This is nowhere near like the Pronger, etc. contracts. Now you're arguing just for the sake of it. There's a massive difference in having a 4M drop during RETIREMENT YEARS than to a guy making 5M at the end of his contract.

They are nothing alike whatsoever. You are so far off base it's not even funny, man.
