The other thing to add is in 6-10 years there is a pretty good chance a $5.3m cap hit isn't even the average for NHL goalies, the cap is going to go up.
It's not ideal to be locked in that long, but there are MANY benefits to that contract, even with the new cap benefit re-capture provision.

If the Caps were a team with $15-20 mil in available cap space....sure, not a big deal. Caps don't care about salary, but rather how you fit that contract into a longterm team structure. They can't today as made clear by McPhee.
