[Price is Wright]

Step One: Criticize CBC despite it costing Canadians very little
Step Two: Gut and cut the CBC, especially CBC Sports, to turn it into a pittance.
Step Three: Hire mediocre writers that write terrible articles that diminish the credibility of the network.
Step Four: Profit?

...this guy's a moron; I have a 6 year old nephew that would do a better job on the article...the funniest thing is, as pointed out earlier in this thread, that Clarkson, the worst contract in the League, didn't even make his list...the man must not watch hockey...

 

[Gyfu]

lol...... someone has actually voted for him

Don or Ron

I rather have Pacces with 39 goals than Benoit Pouliot with 10 goals at the same price tag.

WaaaaaT?

*goes on capgeek, realizes Benny Poo makes 4M a year*

Holy carp, I completely forgot about that one. We have Patches for a mere 500k more than Benny freaking Poo!

But come on- Benny is an advanced stats God...more important than a 40 goal scorer any day and twice on Sundays

When you recognize that Patches has great advanced stats too... makes it even more hilarious.

Looks like we're seeing the first evidence of Sportsnet's influence at CBC.

Articles like this drive reader to the site, which is good for advertisers. They needed 1 contract per team. Unfortunately, too many like this and the CBC will stop being a reliable source for information.

On the positive side if Patches contract is considered Montreal's worst (and it isn't, we still have Bourque and DD) then we're in pretty good shape. There isn't a team in the NHL that wouldn't take Patches contract.

why does anyone even visit CBC website, they consistently spew out garbage when it comes to hockey

 

[InnuJoker]

Where the hell is David Clarkson on that list?

 

[Montreal4Life*]

Wow, I would take Phaneuf at 7m over Clarkson at 5.2 any day of the week (and Phaneuf is beyond redemption, especially with that salary)

 

[Habs13]

I don't even like Mad Max, but this is beyond dumb. How come Desharnais isn't listed??

 

[LastWordArmy]

I don't even like Mad Max, but this is beyond dumb. How come Desharnais isn't listed??

Mostly because 50+ points for $3.5 million is a bargain.

Desharnais is not close to Montreal's worst contract.

Thats Bourque, easily.

 

[GuyGuyGuy]

Really CBC?

If they would just follow up with another poll about the best contract of any Canadian team, and put Max in that one representing the Canadiens... He'd almost assuredly lead that poll, even among non-Hab fans.

Leaving no stone unturned ...

Google spills the beans.

Did not expect this here.

 

[mangdas]

LOL arguably none are bad contracts. What a horrible article

Twas but a bonus throw-in, for a CBC thread. Hope you enjoyed.

Billy Bob Thornton approved.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Yep, if you can't find a real bad contract in Canada why force it in an article? There's plenty of bad contracts, Clarkson being the worst in the league and Max might be one of the best contract in the league.

 

[FF de Mars]

But the French media is the worse

Pretty much what's happening, and I've seen it first hand.

 

[Runner77]

The French media is the root of all evil.

La Grande Mitopoutinerie, I'll write a book about it one day.

CBC is a crown corporation, when has any government entity turned a profit? I don't think that word is in their vocabulary.

The CBC is so drunk that they completely missed the boat. The USA Today did an article back in September looking at the 4 best contracts 1 in each of the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL and guess who they chose for the NHL. (If I put it in right) The link below for anyone interested in reading it.

They picked one player per team... it just shows the Habs are well managed.

Yeah I agree, I find it funny that people are saying cbc has gone down hill, I have never thought it was good even as a child I hated their hockey coverage
