Well that’s quite the assumption and I hope your right. However, taking a look down south should remind everyone that players individual interest don’t always align with what’s best for the team they play on or the friends they have on that team.
As far as Nurse goes, I think that what gets under my skin the most is people being content with what he’s going to be making for the level of play he brought this last year. He needs to play better than he did or it’s a horrible contract, it’s as simple as that. If he can play even somewhere in between his last two seasons and the fact that the cap is most definitely going to go up over the years then I have no problem with it.
Really? That
most people will be content? From what I've seen here is that not many at all are happy with that number, nor are we ALL content. I know I'm not, but I'm also not outraged at how much he will be making this upcoming year. No, I'm not happy about it, but it is what it is at this point. Unfortunately the Bridge for Nurse really hurt us, as was signing him too early. Of course, we could have been even more unlucky with him walking for free, as our lowly cousins down south just learned. (I'm still giddy about this!).
I guess I'm at that stage in life where yes, things piss me off, but typically it's the things that I can deal with. Nurse making $9.5MM doesn't impact my daily life, but the guy that cuts me off on the freeway does
I was going to go into the McDrai contracts, and that how many people think they are such a steal. Yes they could be a LOT more, but they also got a lot more than what was normal at the time, essentially hand-cuffing the GM a bit. I won't go into it though, lol...
