If Rick was putting together 35 win seasons? 40 win season? (He had back to back seasons of 30 & 32 wins. Nothing overly amazing, I know.)
If Rick was putting up 35-40 win seasons it would be one of the better contracts in the history of the NHL.

Hindsight for some. Hindsight for me is just as accurate as it was when I disliked the contract in the beginning. I'd say half of our fellow fans saw it as a completely unnecessary & highly risky gamble simply because of the way the Yashin contract unfolded. That's not hindsight. That's having a memory with a half life longer than a fruit fly's.
