ALFIE STANDS BY DEAL: Alfredsson, who at times this season has been the best player in the game, said he won't be asking for a raise after seeing his teammates cashing in big deals. "I'm very happy with what I'm making," he said (even if it is in those crappy US dollars now). "I've always said when you sign a contract you have to live up to it." Alfredsson will make less next year ($5.45 million) than Heatley ($10 million), Spezza ($8 million) and Fisher ($6 million). Alfredsson has three option years after next season at $3.8 million. Remember, Alfredsson got a 24% pay cut with the new CBA.
