Hypothetical here: Let's say Eriksson's contract expired at the end of this season and the team considering him is neither going to spend to the cap nor be at the floor. Would you consider a 2 x $2.5M contract to be a good deal?
Ultimately, any team with an internal cap that isn't the floor is looking for bang for the buck. Eriksson still isn't offering up what you'd want for $2.5M. |
