Why? How else do you obtain highly touted international players? By not paying them?
Ramo makes the 24th highest salary in the league (goaltenders of course) and a few of the guys with close to the same statistics (Nabokov, Lindback, Fasth) are also paid around the same bracket.
He is maybe overpaid by a pinch, but that's pretty much chump change for a guy who is supposed to be an NHL starter. He isn't, but that isn't Feaster's fault.
It's 2 years. Low risk, high reward. Let's at least lynch Feaster for something vaguely sinister.
