Players are lining up for their coin before the lockout starts. Nice to have Burrows back in the fold.

The current economic model is untenable, so we better lock up all our players now before a new, more favourable system kicks in. Makes perfect sense.

I suspect all these teams have heard that the salary rollback is sure thing before teams ever hit the ice again and have negotiated as such.

Its a sign of how ludicrous this economic climate is when signing a player for $4.5 million a year to play hockey is considered a "bargain".
And this, in an era of 8% unemployment and probably double that for UNDERemployment.

A pox on both their houses.








But I'm still pretty stoked about this signing! :mulletbutch:
