Contract

$80KCap dollars per point11 points in 34 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 Montreal Canadiens on Jul 17, 2008, as an entry-level contract: 3 years and $2.73M, beginning in 2008-09. It runs through 2010-11, with 2 seasons left after this one, and he is then a restricted free agent.

2010-11 $875K $788K $88K $875K

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.
