He's just going to take an extra couple million dollars out of the owners' pocketbooks.

Speaking of Adam Pardy, I seem to recall he was just signed by Winnipeg for $700.00. Adam is a big strong defenceman who plays aggressively, and has a great breakout pass.
You can't convince me that Engelland is worth more than 4 Pardys.
