Raysfan12 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm for the owners because the players sign too many awfully long contracts to build a championship team. If the players keep doing this, there wouldn't be enough salary for free agents or rising stars who deserve the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Perfect time to start "Posts that make you go Hmmmmm Part 2".I maintain that that was a thread concept whose time had come! This is just a sports thought that is wrong, though. "I know New Orleans is the French state, but" was more the essence.I think Raysfan12 has now seen the error of his ways, namely that the owners give those contracts out. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonBlue Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think that's the pez dispenser episode of Seinfeld.And I'm on the players side.However, I have to be honest here...if they lose the whole season again I'm done with hockey.

Viper Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm for the owners because the players sign too many awfully long contracts to build a championship team. If the players keep doing this, there wouldn't be enough salary for free agents or rising stars who deserve the money.So, who gives them these contracts? I'll give you some time.The problem with this argument is that if one team owner doesn't give them one of these insanely huge and long contracts, some other team probably will (and if not, look out for a collusion lawsuit, something Donald Fehr is quite familiar with), and nowadays that other team won't necessarily even be from the NHL either.And as a fan, do you really want your favorite team not to make whatever deals necessary to resign your best players and bring in top free agents? As a Wild fan, I'm not exactly upset with the club for spending nine figures to lock up Suter and Parise.ltimately we don’t want a system where owners are resolving to protect their finances. We want a system where each owner is able to give management the freedom to go all out and assemble the best team possible without putting the business in jeopardy.
