That $2.5m is critical and frankly he's not doing enough out there to justify it.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560804214509853836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156394541175959476.post-11711860638613244732009-04-03T08:07:00.000-07:002009-04-03T08:07:00.000-07:00Oh, and where did you get that about Murray?

Unless he won his appeal, his buyout will have a 1.4M hit to next years cap as well.<BR/><BR/>The only hope is that the rookie bonuses go back into effect, lowering the cap hit for Rask and Wheeler from 5M to 1.6M and Murray wins the appeal. This would free up 4.8M for next season but would still kill us the following season.The Bastahdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480718847594872835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156394541175959476.post-80123108650454821902009-04-03T08:05:00.000-07:002009-04-03T08:05:00.000-07:00Giving the three RFAs a combined $10M would mean B...Giving the three RFAs a combined $10M would mean Boston has 54.4M tied up next year in 18 guys. The following year, they would have 42M tied in TEN people and that isn't even including Savard or Rask!!<BR/><BR/>Yea, we are SCREWED going forward...The Bastahdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04480718847594872835noreply@blogger.com
