Players that are stars are no longer waiting or being advised by their agents to wait until they become UFA’s to get the big deal. This is the new twist we likely have all noticed happening league wide. There are reasons for this happening based on projections and adv statistics and the likelyhood of a Nhl career ending sooner based on pressure from below with advantageous cap consequences for the teams.
With this comes the question of cap restraints with good young players much earlier for management. Kind of starting to look like the teams are going to have to be protected from themselves as we seen before the salary cap was implemented.
I don’t buy the loyalties idea much any longer. So hopefully everyone knows everyone of these players is in it for the money first and foremost.
Its a new era in cap management we are seeing and attaching pressure to your teams managers to cave in on contracts is likely not a constructive way to get to your expectations of GM’s going ahead here.
Its a big shift we are seeing. Restraint from over paying could cost a player to you or win you a cup, or cost you a player and still win you a cup or cost you a cup for a losing trade.
Thats the new way anyways. Will be interesting to see what teams adapt properly.
