WHAT 6 Mill a year for Havlat????
Just saw this posted on TSN.ca. A 3 way deal between Ottawa, Chicago and San Jose. The big name involved is Havlat who forced Ottawa to move him by refusing to sign anything but a one year deal. Once being traded this article says that he re-upped with Chicago for 18 million over 3 years.
6 Million a year for Havlat? The guys good but come on!
What is Chicago thinking and what does this say about Havlat's character? If I was a Senator's fan I'd be torn between being choked and glad to see him go.

Just shows you that Chicago remains one of the most poorly run organizations in the NHL. That and Bostom...it's sad to see two orginal six teams getting run into the ground buy poor management and Monty Burns type owners.
They were just saying how Chicago couldn't lure any free agents- so they have to trade then shower their players with ridiculous contracts to keep them happy.

Now, if Havlat get $6 million, what does Gagne get? Seven million?
Suddenly Nonis' contracts for Naslund, Mo and Cooker don't look so silly.
If I'm the NHLPA, I'd be getting worried about the impact all this craziness will have on the escrow. They didn't lose any escrowed salary this last season, but I'm not so sure about 06/07.

This is INfreakingSANE!
Makes Luongo's deal look like a frugal signing at this point. Wow, Havlat & Khabibulin take up about 1/3 of their total salary cap between the 2 of them.
So much for the NEW nhl and SENSIBLE spending.....its just the same old shit we always had, except now we'll have MORE minor leaguers rounding out rosters because thats all the teams can afford.....what happens to the rest of the NHLers who SHOULD be playing but can't land reasonable contracts then?
ugh

And thats how you kep the salaries down. As a GM or Owner, if you have a couple star players that draw fans to fill your arena, a couple of support guys and fill out the rest of your team with minimum salrary player, so long as you make money at the end of the year, does it really matter?Tukaram wrote:The salary cap is eliminating the middleman from NHL payrolls.
Middle earner (2-4 million) players are the guys that make the total team salary jump in a hurry.
Sad...

Yes, escrow will be significant when teams on average spend a lot more than the mid-point between the cap and the floor, but escrow is just a mechanism to ensure that the players' share of revenue remain at the fixed percentage. Whether it's high or low, that percentage is fixed and that's all the players are going to get collectively.Meerschaum wrote:Now, if Havlat get $6 million, what does Gagne get? Seven million?
