His cap hit for the whole season, set against what he did in the regular season. Lower is better value. In a season still being played the cost per point starts high and falls as the games add up.

The contract

Signed by the Nashville Predators on Sep 8, 2004, as an entry-level contract: 3 years and $2.356M, beginning in 2005-06. It runs through 2007-08, so this is its last season, and his extension takes over. His next contract is already signed: an extension with the Nashville Predators on Jun 16, 2008, 4 years and $14M at $3.5M a season, beginning in 2008-09.

Season Cap hit Base salary Signing bonus Performance bonuses Paid in all Clause

2006-07 $785K $471K $0 $471K
2007-08 $785K $942K $0 $942K

Each season of the contract, with this one marked. The cap hit is the same every year; what he is paid is not. The pay is as written when the contract was recorded in October 2024, so a later change, such as the rise in the lowest salary for 2026-27, is not shown.

Every contract on record for him, newest first, with the team that signed him to it and the day it was signed. The one covering 2007-08 is marked. An extension is signed while the contract before it is still running, often a year ahead. A row with no team or date is a contract known only by its cap hit, most often one signed since October 2024.
