    Andrei Markov gets 4 year contract at $6 mil per yer...

    I think the price for Souray, Drury and Briere just went up...

    I thought I heard Souray was a pain in the butt
    I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.

            EXACTLY! I hate their free agent rule! I have no clue why they don't like to work on contracts early. Maybe it makes too much sense for Darcy.

              Time to panic and over-react!

              I doubt Drury would have extended his deal last year.

                Sullivan's column suggests the reason the Sabres didn't negotiate during the season is "Maybe it was because they had no intention of keeping both." It would be unwise to favor one over the other during the season.

                  I could see that as the truth.

                    We are going back the the prestrike era already. Teams won't even be able afford to go to the salary cap any more and the cap is justing going to keep going up every year. Losing that whole year was a big waste of time. The refereeing is already pre-strike standard.

                      good point. But tell me the truth...did you really expect anything different? The NHL will never learn.

                        at least all teams are bound by the same salary cap.

                        If a 1/3 of the league can't afford to pay players up to the cap limit then the league has a problem. But as long as all teams are on equal footing all teams will have to release over paid vets which then will make them available to the the rest of the league at a fraction simply do to the amount of money left in team cap budgets.

                        I guess the million dollar question is ... How many teams cannot afford the salary cap ?

                          according to Galisano (radio interview, no link) 11 teams lost money last season and more will lose money this year.
