I feel like this signing is a tiny bit like when we did not re-sign Gagner or Hendricks,

Capfriendly doesn’t appear to have the details yet. It’s a 35+ contract so maybe a slim chance of a performance bonus?

I’m feeling good about this extension, personally.

I saw this on a little biography thing of him on a business site:

With a passion for hockey, Michael has been involved with the Hamilton Bulldogs since 2003, first as a co-owner, then sole owner. In 2009, he purchased a share of the 24-time Stanley Cup Champion Montreal Canadiens, Bell Centre and Gillett Entertainment Group (now called evenko) as part of a group headed by Geoff Molson. He stands in as alternate governor for the Habs.

Is that old news? Would that be any sort of conflict?

I had the same thought about Hill, seems like he’d be a great selection except that he didn’t play at all against Winnipeg.
