DISAPPOINTED WITH CAP
"I'm disappointed it's gotten to this point," the St. Louis Blues winger said. "Obviously, we have every belief in the executive committee, and if that's something we have to do, then we have to. I still don't agree with it."
A 12-year veteran who commanded a $10 million salary in 2003-04, Tkachuk has one year left on his contract with the Blues.
He has no idea how the team plans to fit him into any new system, even factoring in the expected 24% pay cut in the new deal.
Like most players, he's just getting ready to suit up again.
He spent this past season like a regular dad, taking his kids to school and coaching their hockey teams.
"I had a great year with the kids," he said. "But we're hockey players. It'll be nice to get back."
I feel so horrible for poor Keith. Poor guy. It really is sad.
