I fully agree. If they are going to keep handing out these contracts there needs to be "outs" at certain points, anything to bring it back to sane levels. - maverickJ
That's what the previous lockout was supposed to do. And look where they are now. |

Players can do whatever they want I guess. As long as the teams didn't invite him there. Pretty obvious that he showed up with a *wink wink* though. - weirdoh
...thanks! |

As per Forbes magazine......
The Predators are losing money and trying to find investors to pump in about $25 million to shore up the team's finances. In early 2011 the team secured a $75 million credit facility led by Regions Bank to replace the $75 million loan from CIT Group used to finance the purchase of the team. The team has plans to renovate 15-year old Bridgestone Arena by adding a Fan Zone on the upper concourse and upgrading 72 suites. The Predators have a lot of debt and have been in the bottom-third of the league in attendance for six consecutive seasons. - faceto27
however the run in 2012 and the playoffs have probably changed that scope a little bit
thats what success does.. generates community interest |

You'd have to lose the idea of RFA all together then.

why?
you are drafted and unless you are traded you must spend so many years with the team that drafted you
OR.. choose not to sign with them and sit out for 2 years until you are draft eligable again.
why even bother giving these guys the option? shorten the RFA status term and lose the offer sheets |

I like the idea of RFA's for players coming out of their entry level contracts so teams don't lose their top prospects but I don't feel the same way about a 28 year being an RFA. |

No, what you do is adjust the cap WITHOUT giving teams the "outs". Teams and their GMs need to realize that if they want to sign players for 14 years, there will be a few CBA renegotiations in that time they'll need to account for. Bailing them every time will NOT change the behaviours we keep seeing. |

Yeah, that’s almost exactly the same, except for a couple of very small differences. Kulemin is bigger. Stronger. More physical. More defensively responsible. Oh, and even with this brand new contract, has a cap hit that’s a mere ONE THIRD of Gomez’s. - prock
Aww yes, Kulimen the powerforward. lol. |
