FIRE GORDIE CLARK
An NHL lockout is a definite with mediocre players getting paid $5 million a year this summer.
Thanks crappy GMs
???
If anything it's smart for GMs to lock up younger players and invest in their prime years.
Skjei will be 30 when this deal ends.
Where's the smart money? Do you think he'll perform better on this contract or the contract he gets as a UFA on the back half of his career?
Would it have been smarter to keep McDonagh and give him $7 million all the way up until he's 36-38?
And $5 million is the new $3.5 million.
By your logic Tavares was an awful lockout causing investment for the Leafs because he's making over $2 million more than Crosby on a deal signed 6 years apart.
And then when it comes time for the next hockey phenom to get his contract 6 years from now that will make McDavids look like a steal too.
