He is really killing this team right now. As 6.8 million dollar 6 dman. That's nauseating to think about.

I get the complaints about the contract. Sitting here in my GM armchair, a front office does have to make some kind of effort to reward the loyal core, and to send a message to the rest of the team and to the league that this is a team that takes care of its guys. If they lowballed him on that offer, what happens after that? How many GMs are brilliant when it comes to managing the cap? We see it every year, a team flies too close to the sun, and the wings eventually melt.
Imagine being a King fan now, and seeing that Kovalchuk, Dustin Brown, and Paneuf are all next to impossible to move. And Quick has four more seasons after this one on his deal. We're just female doging about one contract, for the most part.
