It's not about the money, it's about respect. You cannot keep guys =
that make=20
4.5 million a year from making 7 or 8 when they can go get it =
easily. I hate=20
how everyday people bitch and moan, but you know what? If we were in =
his=20
position we would do the exact same shit. Just like ALex Rodriguez =
did,=20
people boo him for taking the money. I would really love to see one =
of us=20
keep a $50,000 a year job, when you can go make $200,000 for doing =
the same=20
thing.>>
Rarely would ANY UFA go from 50,000 to 200,000 a year if you were =
comparing his offers from the various teams, for comparison standards... =
or at least I don't think so. I believe the comparison would be more =
along the lines of making 50,000 versus 70,000 bucks, and which working =
environment is more pleasing? I'd personally take the 50k job if i felt =
it would be less stressful, and I'd have more fun than at the other job =
(if it was like being in a shithole, imagine being a Ranger the past 4 =
years ;)). =20
For example, if Lou offered Holik 3.7-4 mil after his contract =
expired, and he got 4.2 mil from the Ranjerks or some team. If the =
Ranger$ blow and he has NO chance at another Cup, how is that =
particularly satisfying?
I imagine a guy like Madden would opt to stay with the Devs and =
have a legit chance at another Cup than jump across the river to the =
Evil Empire. Just a thought. (Then again, Madden told one of my friends =
he'd NEVER EVER sign with the Rangers because of their assinine spending =
ways that ruin the NHL... so we'll have to see if he keeps that promise =
when he's UFA >:)).
=20
But since these guys make millions you guys come down hard on them. =
That doesn't make sense to me. Holik deserves what he asked for. I =
also don't=20
understand why every other teams' fans understand and give Holik =
respect he=20
deserves, but 90% of Devils Fans have no respect for the one of the =
hardest=20
workers on our team, and a guy who has been here forever. And Lou =
compared=20
him to Travis fucking Green??????????? Might as well compare Holik =
to Brendan=20
Morrison.=20
