Buffalo Boy's Blog

Im not trying to take anything away from the career that the soon to be former Leaf captain has had, but the contract that he is about to reportedly sign is just stone cold nuts.

What is Vancouver smoking and if its legal there, Im moving to Vancouver.

Close to $20 million over two years? Thats close to $10 million a year. Over the money that Sidney Crosby got who is arguably the best player in the game. Crosby makes around $9 million and is probably worth every penny.

Mats though, is he really worth that kind of dough at 37 years old? 39 years old at the end of the contract? This league is going right down the path they were going down before the lockout. Where is this kind of money coming from?

I understand the Canadian teams are making bundles now that the Canadian and US dollars are on par for the most part but come on, the league isn't making that much to justify these contracts. But hey, who am I to criticize Vancouver, I hope it works out for ya, and when it doesn't you'll be struggling for the next two years with that thing the league calls a SALARY CAP.
