so wait ... Daniel Briere (as one example) should care about how it screws your team over?
it was your owners damn fault for wanting the cap to begin with. now live with it. a player is a human and he is entitled to work for as much as someone else is willing to pay him. period.
although, he thinks you are overpaid too, but somehow you will say what you are paid is none of his business.
Bad example. Your right that a player is entitled to make what someone is willing to pay him. But in Briere's case his deal was an arbitration award not a contract offer. He got a 3.1 mil raise for playing only 48 games and he got that rediculous raise. I have no issue at all with owners shelling out whatever they want on players. But an arbitrator should use a little more common sense.
Players are human? Nice melodramatic touch.
