Yeah because the office was desperate to keep the core together, which is what they did. They had to tie them to long contracts so they'd could carry a smaller cap hit, which led to three cup so I'm not complaining too much. Keith's is relatively small, I think he makes under six million per season, and given his fitness levels and general health, I think he could play well into his 40s; so I have no issue with that; I just hope the Hawks get another stud d-man because Keith shouldn't be relied on as the top guy anymore. Seabrook unfortunately makes closer to seven million on the cap hit, which was a steal at the time, he was one of the best d-men in the league. Injuries really took their toll on Seebs, which sucks because he is one of my favourite Hawks. I doubt he will ever play again, and the Hawks will bury his contract on LTIR for the insurance money.
