Much as we might have wished for a deal like this for Marner, I have a sneaky suspicion that in 4 years' time we're going to be really happy with his cap hit when compared to what these bridge-deal signers are going to be commanding. That will be the first year of the new US TV deal (expected to be a BIG increase) plus just natural inflation of a couple % per year. We'll have to re-up Reilly (and Kapanen) that year, but the rest of the core is signed for another 2 or 3. Short term financial pain for long term gain.
