It's not really that insane when you look at the revenues brought in by teams and the league in general. When you speak in pure dollar figures then yes of course it is - but in terms of relative salaries, hockey easily takes the insanity cake.
At any rate, I do agree that giving that big and that length of a deal to a Carlos Lee type is questionable, but so is commiting $20 million to a fragile guy like the Big Hurt.
So was giving that money to BJ Ryan last year, but I'd say that worked out well (at least last season).
