So they make more than Grabo does every year. Burke doesn't believe in cap circumvention contracts, so he didn't tack on a bunch of years at the end to artificially lower the cap hit.

Desharnais: 51 pts, 850k per year
Grabovski: 45 pts, 5.5M per year
Plekanec and Kesler make 5M per year...
Grabo is overpayed by about 1-1.5M
Plekanec is a good comparison, Kesler not to so much, he was an RFA and took a discount, while playing on a good team.
As far as the Desharnais reference. MacArthur got 62 points last year at a bit over 1 Million. I guess Plekanec is grossly overpaid cause he only got 57 points while making 5 million.
See its easy to pick and choose players to manipulate an opinion.
I think Grabo is overpaid, by about .5-1 mil. Especially considering how much he is said to love Toronto.
(BTW I do not think Plek is overpaid, that was merely a comparison)
Some you really don't understand the market at all. I don't even mean a little bit... at all.
Desharnais? LOL. I refuse to believe that anyone thinks he is a real comparable to Grabo. One of the stupidest arguments I've ever seen to argue someone is overpaid.
When did Pleks sign again? I bet with cap inflation, he is right around 5.5.
I was sarcastically comparing DD's contract to Grabovski's. It's obvious that DD will make more than 1M in 2 years.
I'm serious about the Plekanec and Kesler comparison though.
I don't think the Kesler one is good. As someone already pointed out, hometown discount for a Cup contending team, was an RFA, signed it before his 40 goal season where he won the Selke.
If Kesler were to hit UFA this summer like Grabo would have, he would be getting ridiculous contract offers. Much higher than $5M.

you can argue the way Kesler is playing right now is his true form. His production mainly was a result of Vancouver strong PP the last 2 years, and the decrease in PP and the Sedins regular play (point per game players before instead of 100 point guys) effects Kesler play showing his true potential as a 55-70 point guy.
