Good for Matt but is it good for hockey?

The Calgary Flames resigned Matt Stajan to a four year deal today worth $3.5M a year.

You can read about it here.

That's a substantial raise for him and he's on pace right now to finish with 59 points. I suppose that's what $3.5M players do nowadays? It seems like a lot of money for a guy of his skill. I would have guessed he was more of a $2.7M/year kind of player.

Is it just me or do GM's regularly hand out bloated contracts? No wonder we end up with lockouts and strikes and teams losing money.

Wow.

  14. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near
    future but I'm having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  33. I believe everything posted made a ton of sense.
    But, think on this, suppose you added a little content?
    I ain't saying your information isn't solid, but what if you added a title to possibly get
    folk's attention? I mean "Good for Matt but is it good for hockey?" is a little vanilla. You ought to peek at Yahoo's front page and watch
    how they create post titles to grab people interested.
    You might add a related video or a related pic
    or two to grab people excited about what you've written. Just my opinion, it might make your website a little livelier.

I see your web address, "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17198213&postID=716795969339183127" has the www and my domain looks like, "http://mydomain.com". Do you know exactly how I can change this? I'm using Wordpress platform.
