I almost choked on my lunch when I read this! Vincent Lecavalier has signed a 9-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning for… $77 million dollars!
Okay, yes the number is big but when you break it down to what he will make per year, it’s actually not […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have filed for salary arbitration with their star goaltender, Marc-Andre Fleury. Arbitration hearings will take place from July 20th to August 4th. This will give the Pens time to negotiate Fleury’s contract since it will prevent him from becoming a free agent on July 1st.
I think it’s a smart move. […]
*sigh* More salary cap stuff… I’m going to be honest - I don’t completely understand this but here’s the story anyway:
Player paycheques will be 9.5 per cent smaller during the first quarter of the 2007-08 NHL season, but that money could find its way back later on depending on the league’s bottom line.
The money withheld […]
Wow… I used the word “earning” lightly since, really, deals can turn sour in a heartbeat. Still, tonight Daniel Brière of the Philadelphia Flyers earned his keep when he almost single-handedly spanked the Calgary Flames to lead his team to a 3-2 win for the season opener.
So, who are these men getting the […]
The NHL must be doing a lot better given the league has raised the salary cap to $50.3-million from $44-million. The minimum a team can spend is $34.3-million, while the top salary that an individual player can make is now $10.6-million.
Even though television revenue in the U.S. is almost non-existent, the salary cap has […]
With the NHL free-agent bonanza poised to kick off on July 1, the question you got to ask is how high will a team be willing to go to snap one of the top stars such as Daniel Briere, Chris Drury, Ryan Smyth or Scott Gomez.
With the salary-cap expected to climb to $50-million and […]
So let’s put the NHL draft behind us. After all, we’re talking about 18-year-old players with lots of potential but no guarantee they will ever become solid NHL players. Anyone remember Greg Joly or Doug Wickenheiser? (Note: Later this week, my brother, Sean, will be producing a multi-part analysis of the #1 picks in the […]
What does Dave Pelton see that other don’t? A Nashville businessman, Pelton believes the Nashville Predators deserve to be in Nashville. I guess this view must be based more on civic pride than the fact the team barely draws 14,000 fans a game and it has little corporate support. Meanwhile, Predators owner Craig Leipold suggests […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs signed veteran Mats Sundin to a one-year, $5.5-million deal today.
The fact it’s only a one-year deal is, if anything, intriguing. It suggests Sundin may want to give himself an out if the Maple Leafs don’t improve from last year’s performance in which they missed the playoffs for the third-straight year. […]
