Sorry, I guess I jumped in the middle of your chat.
He would be allowed to retire, doubtful that is on his radar.
No worries. I mean No one really knows what he is thinking. I could see him wanting to keep playing.
I also think there are lots of signs that they have an agreement. When marleau signed, the big 3 were already here. They knew their contracts would be up in marleaus last year. They also knew they had big salary booked that year with little room.
Lou specifically said that the cap situation going forward allowed the deal to happen the way it did.
Two. It is structured exactly like a back diving deal.
Three. Dubas seemed pretty confident he could sign all his players. Babcock even this year was talking about re signing gardiner even after the RFA deals.
To me it’s tough to see that done with marleau at 6.25.
He was saying last year they won’t Be able to keep all of JVR etc. But next year is the real pinch point. He still thinks he can sign gardiner?
To me it’s lining up that he goes away. But no one really knows.
