I think this is such a load of crap personally. These guys are the difference makers on that team, and without them the Hawks aren't winning anything. If the team is well managed they will be able to surround them with enough other guys. Let Brad Richards take the pay cut to play with legitmate star players, rather than Kane and Toews taking paycuts so Johnny Oduya can be a 4.5 million dollar a year 4-5 defenceman.
All those guys in Detroit who took hometown discounts after the 08 season....how has that worked out? I'm happy to see star players actually get paid more in line with what they're worth rather than taking less so Tuomo Ruutu's and Dennis Wideman can make 5 million.
