Stop the insanity GM's and please come to your senses.
So much for the league getting younger and faster. GM's continue to sign old guys for millions of dollars and some of them are actually getting a raise over what they earned before the lockout. Can you believe Malakov getting almost 4 million per? I can't wait to see Hatcher playing with no redline and seeing Hitchcock having to sit his sorry butt for not being able to keep up or control his man without holding or hooking. Can you believe how many 3rd and 4th liners and 3rd pairing Dmen are getting millions? They were supposed to be brought back down to earth. I can see salaries being more than 54 percent which will result in a pay decrease across the board which may be the only saving grace for many of these GM's.
Gary Bettman is being proven right again (Goodenow wrong) as the salary cap is acting like a magnet to most clubs in the league.
A combination of GM competitiveness and lack of business experience proves why the owners wanted cost certainty. Bravo Gary for getting it done.
Once again, I look forward to being able to say "I told you so" to posters, fans and GM's crying after signing all these old guys to long term deals when they get injured or start to suck and their salaries still count towards each teams cap.
