Well that didn't take long...

Only surprising thing is that it was Lou who went max.

We're surprised it was him? The guy who gave out the Kovalchuk deal? That lost Parise to a long term deal? That first found his way out of bad contracts the last go around through LTIR and trades?

Yeah, not surprising actually. Lou's been kinda crazy since the cap was implemented.

Who'd they sign?? Gretzky?Lemieux?

Idiots!!

I still see the Kovalchuk deal as Lou's way of bringing backdiving contracts to the forefront of everyone's mind as a problem. I think he purposely wrote it to be such obvious cap circumvention that it wouldn't pass, and would bring about reform. It did.

But the Devils Cup teams were built on a core of guys who quietly went about their business and didn't make a fuss about anything. I guess if Zajac fits the bill then it makes sense Lou would lock him up long term.

Not to mention that his Elias contract in 06-07 was one of the very first, if not the first, to clearly tack on extra years at the end of the deal to get the cap hit down.
