agreed... i'd be stunned if a 38 year old guy without an NHL contract would be getting a 1.75 million prorated contract

as for connie's statement, seems like that interpretation could be literally applied to anyone then, as anyone could, in theory, be signed to a longer term contract if you match their price.

i am praying the flames don't do something dumb on Monday *cough*Kane*cough*
