Contract

$677KCap hitends in 2010, then RFA
$21KCap dollars per point32 points in 81 games

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 Ottawa Senators on Mar 21, 2007, as an entry-level contract: 3 years and $2.55M, beginning in 2007-08. It runs through 2009-10, with 1 season left after this one, and he is then a restricted free agent.

Season Cap hit Base salary Signing bonus Performance bonuses Paid in all Clause
2007-08 $677K $585K $0 $265K $585K
2008-09 $677K $660K $0 $190K $660K
2009-10 $677K $785K $0 $65K $785K

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 2008-09 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.
