Some contracts don't age well.....and there are others that were never good to begin with. Four goalies off the top of my head deserved franchise $$- Carey Price, Henrik Lundquist, MA Fleury and Andrei Vasilevsky (prolly missing someone) but in other situations budgeting more than 10% of your budget to fill the crease (primary and backup) is too much.

Bobrovsky was a perplexing contract from the start. They could've signed a reasonable contract for a stop gap goalie. Lehner, Varlamov were both UFAs at the time but they committed super long term/big money to a goalie right after drafting a high ceiling goalie in the first round.

If I'm Arizona, I'm offering to take Bobro for about four first round picks.

And if you’re Bob, you’re invoking your NMC and daring them to buy you out instead.

You are right.  I thought the NMC was expiring, but not until after this year  What a bind they are in!  Perhaps if he knows he's getting dumped at the end of this season he might just say let's get on with it.  If we were to do a thread on worst contract in league history, this would be up there, and unlike many such contracts, everyone thought it was bad from the start.
