That's why a lot of these guys take bottom dollar contracts, they are getting paid not to play somewhere

I think it appears to have become an unwritten rule. If someone is paying you not to play there, you take less elsewhere. Partly a power play by the GM playing on the ego of an unwanted player perhaps, partly cold logic. Player with pride will be much more likely to take a show me deal. Must be a strong card against the player and agent.

Always liked Cammy here, hope he does well in all games not against the Flames.

I'm quoting this so it can be read twice. For some reason, people always seem to forget this.
