This is somewhat surreal. The NHL blows off half a season to get the CBC "right" and reset the salary cap. But the new CBA includes 2 "get out of fail free" cards in the form of 2 compliance buyouts. So what do all these teams do? Go out and give 3rd liners 5, 6 and 7 year deals.
I for one am not surprised.
Happens all the time.
Owners ***** about paying too much money but they also need to complete.
If you have a **** product, no one comes to watch thus no revenues.
It's a double-edge sword.
Don't pay the prices = **** team, **** product, no revenues.
Pay the prices = decent/good team, people come, revenue.
