I meant that 6mil per is too much for Looch.

problem is they over-paid him on his second contract, he was already making what he should be making now, so they had to bump him up if they wanted to keep him.

You can bump him up to 5 or 5.25 and it's fine. 6 is the problem. $4.25 is a bargain for Lucic going forward.

Which unfortunately is about what he's making now, I don't know for sure, and I don't feel like looking it up

Ray, it's not like I chose that (frank)ing number because it's Kaberle's cap hit


Lucic at 6, ridic. Still WAY better than Burrows at 4.5

your point was made and received. You feel he should keep his current salary as he was overpaid at the start of his last deal but appropriate now. That deal paid 4.25 (I thought, hence the use of the nubmer, he's actually 4.083 )

And Jacobs has been the loudest of the owners saying the players need to take less money

I haven't seen/heard any of that, and after what he spent on the their rings, I can't think he'd be whining too much.

They were saying last night on sportsnet that he's probably the only owner of a money making franchise that's in favour of the lockout and he has been pushing for it at the BOG meetings.

Agent Scott Norton suggested the lockout could last for a year and a half.

Bettman said at his presser that the BOG voted unanimously in favor of a lock out, so clearly he isn't the only one.

Towing the company line. Bettman only needs 8 yes 8 owners to agree with him to get a majority. Just about every sport the owners vote unanimous. Except in the NFL where the Raiders refuse to vote.

Yes, which means I agree that 6 is redic, and what I said above was the reasoning why they couldn't pay him 4.5 going forward, I wasn't implying he was worth 6 by any means. He's a different breed for sure but he better be potting 30 with 100 pims on a pretty regular basis for that kinda coinage.

There is nothing wrong with jager bombs, except the taste, smell, and after effects of mixing uppers and downers.
