They Could Be Good

from Allan Muir of Spots Illustrated,
Consider a slew of recent signings, such as Tom Gilbert (six years, $24 million), Brent Seabrook (three years, $10.5 million), Shea Weber (three years, $13.5 million), Ryan Whitney (six years, $24 million) and Matt Carle (four years, $14 million). That’s a lot of scratch for a group of players whose games aren’t yet fully on track. So what exactly are teams buying with these deals?
In simplest terms, they’re speculating.
Wideman, who could walk the streets of all 30 NHL cities unmolested even while wearing his Bruins jersey, might seem an unlikely candidate for that kind of scratch, but he actually epitomizes the type of player who is earning this sort of contract.
