Cash or Czech Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Retroactively punishing contracts that were legal at the time is dumb. If the NHL had a problem with them, they should've rejected them when registered with the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners, who whined about "cost certainty" and are the reason this cap exists, knew they were acting in bad faith against the cap when they agreed to these deals. So the NHL reprimanded them and they deserve it. You can't whine about costs and then sign players into retirement deals to the same overall $ amount, just spread over 12 years rather than 7-8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be hit much worse than 1 years at 1.9m cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't hurt the owners though, it hurts a team and GM that has nothing to do with that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago isn't selling any less tickets or merch or concessions because of Keith's cap hit. They were going to have the team they were with or without it. Unless the owner has to pay Keith's salary with the cap penalty? I don't see how it hurts the owner, this isn't negatively impacting the Hawks at all in their current situation.

The league told them, repeatedly, to stop doing this, and they refused, so the league did what it needed to to safeguard against bad faith behavior being exploited by big market teams only. I'm glad they're holding to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had $5M more in cap, Kadri would be our 2C. So that's significant. And yes that does hurt sales. Regardless, you're talking about one team with one player. This rule, when it was made, was about more than one team and one player. So you can't judge it by one outcome, that's just silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
