Post-Game Talk: PS#5 Flyers @ Rangers

He had a horrible first period. He was okay otherwise.

Hayes finished the night at 94% CF over the last 40 minutes.

Er.... what?

So, if I have 12 Sidney Crosby's signed (great contracts) for 6 million per year, which puts me over the cap, I should "never" trade one of them because it doesn't help my cap situation?

Logic fail.

Thought it was a given that a team would stay under the cap, you know, since it is the rules and everything.

As to your hypothetical scenario:

Keep 10 of them. Trade the other 2.

Sign everyone else to the minimum.

And win the Stanley Cup year after year.

He plays the 6th most minutes on this team. He is the 6th best Dman. He makes more than the 6th Dman on most teams makes.

He is not a premium, he is a luxury. if McI develops, he's taking Klein's spot. You're not ditching Boyle and playing Klein/Staal - that would be horrid.

You can patch a 6th d spot. There were plenty of vets who signed short deals below $2.9. Skjei will be ready next year. McI may be in the top 6.

I'm not saying dump Klein for no reason. But this idea that Klein is this huge steal is pure fantasy.

...and plays better than them.

Hence paying for a premium.

When you pay for higher quality you are paying for a premium. In hockey, business, and life.

Every team's situation is different. That logic is pretty vacuous.
