LOL one player out of 1500 constitutes a valid argument? That contract was blatant in its circumvention with a whopping 5 years at 500k at the back end. It was a slap in the face to the NHL and it's no wonder they stepped in and those comparing it to Kippers deal are out to lunch as he had one season only one season where his salary dropped and it was still $1.5 million in his last season. We are talking about the last six years of a deal under $1 million.
