The long backdiving contracts that cheat the salary cap actually helps the NHLPA, since it circumvents the salary cap. The rich players just play with a cheating lower cap hit, which allows the team to pay the other 20 players on the team salary cap the difference. Example Kovi's contract cap hit 6.67 mil/yr, actual if Kovi retires when salary dips $9.56 mil/yr NJ for the 9yrs Kovi is on the team can spend 2.89 mil each year extra on the other players on the team. So lets say 10 players are signed with Kovi type contracts and those teams spend up to the salary cap that would mean each year 10 NHL owners would be paying 2.89 mil, collectivelly 28.9 mil over the HRR split agreed in players salary. 28.9 mil year going to players above the agreement. I don't know if these deals will be recalculated, but it appears for now those are just grandfathered in. @Osaka, That is not how it works.

That guy is intense and his approach to picking players and motivating them is awesome. Again...you are lucky to have a guy who knows how to "build". It's not just a job to him. It's a way of life. Awesome reading Jim Fox thanks. Let us know if you guys would mind us here in Colorado having your GM for a year or 2.

Look at that "Naughty List"! Christmas is right around the corner and there are two names that have been at the top for the last 55 days! No one has been at the top of the list for that long since WWII. Elf #1 - He, he, he, yeppeeeeee! Those are 2 very bad boys! They are gonna get some coal this year! Santa - Ho,ho,ho, I need a report on these two names! Elf #2 - Name #1 is Gary Bettman, also known as "Evil Load" and "Buttman." He has denied the entire world of hockey for the 3rd time in a decade. He is known to have a strong Napoleanic complex and has been called the "Grinch Who Stole Hockey." He believes he is smarter and better than everyone else, despite negotiating past deals that were complete failures. His ultimate evil was to cause the great Rich Hammond to lose his job with the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings hockey club. Santa - The Grinch and Napolean? Napolean was on the top of the list for the first decade of the 1800s. Poor little Rich Hammond. Such a good boy. Remind me to put some special UCLA game tickets in his stocking this year. What about #2? What can we do to get him on the "Nice" list? Elf #3 - Name #2 is Donald Fehr, who coincidentally has the nickname of "#2". He also has denied hockey to millions of people and also helped to cancel baseball to all of America. He would probably enjoy getting coal for Christmas based upon his last correspondence with us when he was 6 years old. He asked for a "Super Power Attorney Starter Kit," a copy of the book "How To Complete A Rectal Exam With Just Words," and a "Ninja Backstabber Action Set" with the "Deep Penetrator Knife." Santa - Hoo, hoo, hoo, what are we gonna do? #1 and #2, are both so bad that I fear, hockey will have to wait another year. Cancel the hockey toys and video games, concentrate on football, basketball, and baseball, since with those two running hockey, its gonna go out with a puff. They're both full of hot air, and a lot of stinky gas, which makes meetings uncomfortable and easy to pass. Lets start a new list, one for only the worst, who ruin life for others, just for the sake of thier thirst. We will call that list "Those out of Luck" and into their stockings all of them will recieve, an La Kings jersey, so they will learn to believe." Elf #1 - Dang, I miss the good ole days when Santa just let the reindeers crap on their roofs. Santa – Ho, ho, ho, oh nooooo! Look at that “Naughty List”!
