I so agree about the money. Until salary disclosure was made public this was never an issue. Unfortunately there is no way that it will ever go back, the backlash from fans who have only known full disclosure wouldn't stand for it. Talking hockey back in the 80's was exactly that and when you talked about a trade the first thing mentioned was not the size of his contract.
