He's said himself that he gives a lot of credit to the Devils' organization plus they're a Stanley Cup contender almost every year, so that could be worth more than money, but that's still a shock in today's NHL.

Yeah, he was looking for 8.8 mill at the beginning of it all...

Ha.

And SEVEN years? That's a long contract.
