You know, everyone bitches about Cory Cross's salary... but that was the cost of doing business... I mean, lets look at the other two high-profile UFA defensemen:
Wild- Dick Tarnstrom - 72OV, 66DF - $4.76m x 3
Jackets- Cory Cross - 71OV, 72 DF - $4.1m x 3
Rangers- Richard Matvichuk - 69OV, 69DF - $3.5m x 3
Really doesn't look that anomalous... that was the market this year. I wonder if teams are whining nonsense because three veteran GMs knew that the UFA market means overpayment, prepared for it, and acquired solid defenders for no assets but excess cap which they all had.
