    Pronger

    $10 mil for one year? Can someone PLEASE explain to me why the NHL owners are crying about the current CBA and their inability to make money without a salary cap of some form, then the idiots in St. Louis go and sign Pronger to an insane deal like that?

    If the Bettmen and the owners want a salary cap in the $32 mil range, that would mean Pronger would take up 1/3 of their team's payroll.

    Does anyone know if the contracts like this INSANE one are void once a new CBA is signed? I'm shocked and confused. I would've thought the owners wouldn't be offering anything remotely that crazy, esp now.

    Don't forget that St. Loo is one of (about) 6 teams that have consistently signed players to ludicrous contracts.


    I wouldn't put much stock in this, per se.

        I have a theory: NHL players should use some of their money to fund highly underpaid private tutors. Then, since the owners know that some of the players' money is going elsewhere, they declare their salaries as being lower. The players think they're getting all of their millionaire contract, and just assume that they lose the money in frivolous expenditures. That way, everybody's happy.

                i think the rangers are actually cutting back on thier salaries which is very good to see.
                this signing was probably the only ludicrous one so far this season (as far as i can remeber). its nice to see...maybe all it takes to lower salaries is the threat of a lockout every season.

                      I'm surprised my Leafs did things pretty well... locked up Belfour, Nieuwendyk, & Roberts for reasonable sums as well....

                          .....not too worried, they have the same chance as any other team (and considering finances, likely a better shot than most any other Canadian team)......
