Contracts are out of control and you can see what players are actually looking out for the best interest of the teams they are playing for and willing to go to, and which ones are just being whores at this moment.
I think a lock out is needed so players can realize what they're doing is fucked up. We're seeing Parise and Suter colluding to get ridiculous contracts, and now this Shea Weber situation is way out of hand. What the fuck do you need 27 million in the first year for? These front loaded contracts are a joke and they need to start capping by year not by average over umpteen years, the last few of which will never be played.
I say lock the players out and eliminate this front loaded bullshit. It will fuck teams like the Wild and the Flyers but who gives a shit at this point. This is so out of hand it's sickening.
