  What about the Cap hit?

• Comment on Deal with the Devils
  

  How come French Canadians like Gagne Briere or pick your name, scuse me, quebecois, DON'T want to play in Montreal? Why did Burrows sign so fast with Vancouver when he could have been King le Roi in Montreal?

  Is it the press? Pressure? Too many people have phone cameras? Too many people follow them to the washroom to pick up urine samples after relieving the kidneys? The 547 people family parties when 519 are wearing Habs jerseys and the other 28 have Habs T-shirts or caps-even if some come from countries that never heard of hockey? GOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!

  Is it NO Year round golf? Taxes?  Celine Dion? Mitsou? Poutine? The Expos? Or just maybe it's the Gazette's Boone? 

  What could it be? Wine prices being double? English speaking wives? Lucien Bouchard? Potholes where you lose the car? Everyone moving July 1st? Can't be the bars like Ziggy's or Chez Paree or the smoked meat.

  What is it?

  The new FRENCH CONNECTION.

  Perreault Martin Robert,^^^Lecavalier St. Louis Gagne

  Maybe Bettman can step in and MANDATE a trade for the Good Of The Game in the My New NHL

  Lecavalier-St. Louis-Gagne FOR Gomez-Gionta -Cammalleri

  It's a complete cap wash and the guys that write in the other papers would be happy and shed tears! More quebecois, then run them out of town as they always did (pick a name)

  Re Kovalchuk Contract

  Here is the way the geniuses are structuring things. Let's take Luongo's contract as an example and it will be worse looking but similar.

  Roberto Luongo Contract
  LENGTH: 12 years. VALUE: ONLY $64,000,000
  
  Salary Schedule:
  
  2010-2011:$10,000,000
  2011-2012:$6,716,000
  2012-2013:$6,714,000
  2013-2014:$6,714,000
  2014-2015:$6,714,000
  2015-2016:$6,714,000
  2016-2017:$6,714,000
  2017-2018:$6,714,000
  2018-2019:$3,382,000
  2019-2020:$1,618,000
  2020-2021:$1,000,000
  2021-2022:$1,000,000
  
  *****Cap Hit every year: $ $5,333,333****
  
  If the Canucks want to buy out Luongo in the summer of 2020 when he would be 41, the Cap Hit for the following years would be:
  
  2020-2021: $4,666,667
  2021-2022: $4,666,667
  2022-2023: $333,333
  2023-2024: $333,333

  Salary owed: Only 2/3 of remaining $2M paid out over 4 years.

  If earlier, even more danger.

  These GMs are SPECULATING that there will be a monster Cap increase in the future that would make those numbers 10 years down the road almost insignificant. Guess we'll see, but they should pick up a book about sub-prime mortgages! N'est-ce pas????

  Lamoriello is 68. Do you think he cares what happens in 15-17 years? It's all about NOW at that age

  last 6 or 7 years will be little money. Will make a lower cap hit over time and an easier buyout

• Comment on Deal with the Devils
  

  Gigeure was a nice thought but his $6M cap hit this year made it a no go
