Put it this way, it was generally acknowledged that to keep both St. Louis and Khabi, the money would have had to come out of Mr. Davidson's pockets once again. Feaster is somehow able to talk him into these things (thank god), but there's no way the team could continue like this into the forseeable future. We were looking at around a $10mil increase in payroll when the team had a profit of $3mil last year.John Flyers Fan said:I'll contend they had a better chance under the old system of keeping all 4 than they do now.
Someone posted these numbers on another board I'm on - with the reported/rumored cap including a rollback, Tampa's payroll would stand at around $31mil without St. Louis signed. Plenty of room. (This is if they consider last years contracts not served) Tampa's chances of keeping the team together will increase considerably under the proposed system, period.
