What he, and his agent, do is not sign a deal if they dont think its fair.SOP on any pro sports business.
So in your eyes...the player should sign ANY deal the team gives him then? I mean otherwise he isnt making ANY money....right?
Yes i can...i just did.
Holding out making zero dollars for 3 months or even a season where i would make 7M in an effort to obtain an extra12-16 million over the course of a deal.....seems pretty obvious no?
So he is only a top 5 player on the team now?
That explains a lot. |
-What I said, again, is that they don’t settle on cap hit, close on that and then next settle on term. That is how you outlined it. Fix one then settle the next. No. They are negotiating both at the same time.
- Re: top 5 -
Is he better than Johnny or Gio? No
Lindholm or Monahan? Debatable. They are both centres. Lindholm is better 2 way.
That’s 4 other guys. Yeah, he is a top 5 player on the team.
- I didn’t say the player should sign any deal and you know that.
- You get the principle and use different numbers. I explained clearly in my example - say the gap is 1 million per year and the term is 5 years. You don’t piss away an entire 7 million in year 1 so you can make 4 million more in years 2-5.
