Glencross fans always bring this up. I think he was paid more than he was worth for the entire duration of his last contract. He made $2.55 mil/ year and averaged 17 goals and 17 assists through the 4 years of the deal (some of it injury plagued). How much did people expect him to make? It is folklore that King took him for a horseback ride in the mountains and totally fleeced him for a hometown discount. The dollars seemed about right to me for a lower tiered winger with no leadership abilities.
Good luck in breaking the bank on your next (non-hometown discount) contract Curt (just not in Calgary)!
