This clown knew before he signed his contract days before the lockout that the NHL was going to roll back the contracts.. Everybody on these boards knew that. Grow Up Suter.

They didn’t think it would be “better”. They’re not the ones trying to get more money, that would be the owners. The guy signs a deal, then a month later the guy who offered it to him says “oh by the...

If Suter didn’t know they were going to pull the players % back, I hope he rides to the game on a smaller bus than the rest of the team. it’s only safe

THAT IS WHY HE GOT THE HUGE BONUS!!!! Everyone, including Suter, including his agent, knew this was going to happen, that is why they got so much money up front

Tell Suter that. He obviously is unhappy with the owner in Minn….meaning, either he is completely clueless or the owner made it clear that he had nothing to worry about when he signed only to pull a...

This is where the players start to lose me. Go ahead and call out Leipold, but remember it was you (Suter) who signed the 13 year 98 million contract back on July 4. Why don’t you call out Mike Ilitch...

herp de derp Really, holding out before signing a mutually agreed upon contract is not the same as either negotiating in bad faith (the owners) or reneging on the contract after it is signed (the...

As far as the dispute on just-signed bloated contracts: Wouldn’t the solution be for the PA to agree to the owner’s CBA proposal as long as any disputed contract (i.e., those the owners are trying to...

ok. So, why sign a contract knowing the CBA was about to expire? Isn’t like joining a unionized company knowing the labor agreement is about to expire? There are usually consequences to those in the...

Agreed! However, the world of sports is intrinsically tied to the real world, and the sports world has changed as well. See NFL/NBA lockouts.
