Not to say it wasn't a good contract - it was. GMs get constantly burned by rewarding long-term contracts to players based off of a single season. And if they have to pay more in the long run, well, it means they have a good player worth paying for anyways so it's a win-win. Good for Subban! | ||

Put in a reasonable floor for someone like Subban at 3 million and then pay him a bonus for both personal stats and team stats that would inflate it up to 5-6 million. Takes care of the motivation and the player definitely ends up earning up to his contributions. Doing that basically kills a lot playing ability. I believe I saw an RSA on the subject a while ago, very informative. Basically, when you reward good play with money in bonuses, that is bad because it actually makes people do worse, but making people's jobs based on off their performance actually makes people do horrendously, even worse than just the bonus can do. It makes people in general play as if they are trying to survive, rather than win, which is bad for a pro; it can also affect the mental game since that can't be underestimated when it comes to how well a player is playing at any given time. It actually makes motivation become a negative thing and player ends up doing worse than he could be doing. | ||

But I would like to see some actual statistics behind player performance in a contract year vs a post-big contract. I honestly feel like in contract year everyone finds an extra gear, but that could just be my own bias looking for that. We could say that the big 3 in Tampa, after they all got their big contracts only St. Louis kept up his level of play while the other two degenerated pretty significantly per-dollar they received. | ||

also, that patented Brad Stuart own goal, enjoy that Shark fans. It cost the Wings a Stanley Cup, it might cost you a playoff series (probably not this one though) | ||

Talk about no confidence in Corey Christ. also, that patented Brad Stuart own goal, enjoy that Shark fans.

There were a lot of things that went wrong for the Wings in that 09 series heh. Plus its not like the Pens didn't play well and deserve it (they won game 7 on the road after all). | ||
