NJ Devils: Sweden West
If yo think the devils cold have paid ot $25m cash in the next 2 years you're nuts.
hear him and Suter are putting in joint bids on buying some of those 1,000 lakes up there.
Sorry,Parise is good-but that is way too much damn money for a guy whose point production has gone down every year since 08/09.Won't count 10/11 as he was injured and only played 13 games.
Like the NHL would allow us to sign a player to anything more than 3 years.... c'mon
Parise's looks like it's: $12M, 12M, 11M, 9M, 9M, 9M, 9M, 9M, 8M, 6M, 2M, 1M, 1M
circumvention
It's not circumvention because the Devils aren't doing it. Btw, a wise sports talk-show host once said "when someone says it isn't about the money, it's about the money" I don't buy it for one second. He sold out, plain and fucking simple.
nope it's not cicumventon its just front loading a contract like 29 teams in this league can do
Not trying to call foul here, but I thought the rule was max 50% drop off in salary? Is that 6 Mill to 2 Mill accurate or am I way off on the rule?
I also haven't read anything about a signing bonus. Did he recieve one? I thought a signing bonus couldn't exceed 10% of the total salary, so in the case, he couldn't recieve a bonus of more than $9.8mil--although, I could be mistaken.
His contact calls for a $10 million signing bonus and a $2 million base salary in each of the first two seasons. In the third year, Parise will get a $5 million signing bonus with a $6 million base, meaning he’ll receiving $35 million in the first three years of the deal.
In the fourth through eighth years of the contract, Parise will have a $9 million base salary, which will decrease to $8 million in the ninth year, $6 million in the 10th year, $2 million in the 11th year and $1 million in the final two years.
This violates the Kovy clause, as does Philly with the Talbot deal he signed last year. I guess the good news is that lou has some really good cases to be given the lost 1st round pick back.
