Alfredsson explains UFA move; Murray, Daly and Barry respond
tl;dr: Alfredsson was planning to retire for 2011-12, Sens asked him to tack on an extra year to old contract for cap reasons and he agreed. NHL doesn't plan to investigate this for cap circumvention. Also Sens GM seems pissed that Alfie left bc his agent didn't call him back for a right to match after Sens best offer of 4.5M--Alfie was paid 1M for 2012-13 so essentially Sens would have paid 2.25M/yr had Alfie agreed to their terms
Landeskog signed 7 years for 39M...dang these kids and their looong contracts with big money. What happened to bridge deals?
