Mark Messier believes he's still owed money from his days with the Canucks

[Lillooet_Hillbilly]

So basically messier owned part of the Canucks franchise. What an messed up contract to give a player, blame they guy who came up with the contract.

Two words for Messier .. _______ OFF!!! .. that is all ..

[Raspberries]

why is Messier still polluting our message boards?

[King_Canuckian]

I guess it all depends on how that clause was worded. But in my mind (which has extremely limited legal knowledge), the contract has long expired, he should get nothing.

FFS... 13 years later, and he's STILL screwing us over.

What a strange clause. I would think that that provision would only be applicable during the term of his contract, as he may presumably be considered part of the assets to the company. Actually they should look at the termination terms ie. all terms of the agreement cease upon the termination date or as otherwise stated herein. There should actually have to be a provision in the agreement that would specifically state that the bonus sale clause survive the termination of the agreement for it to still be in effect after the contract has been terminated or expired, etc, which I don't think any lawyer/company would agree to. Actually I don't believe that this clause would be in a player's contract. This seems like a hoax. Why would a solitary player benefit from the dealings of a company, when execs don't even get that kind of bonus and they are more intricately involved with the successes of a company moreso then a seasonal player.

I think that he has it backwards.

He owes us money for paying to watch his atrocious play and heartless leadership.

That money sucking mmmm......mmm........mmmmm.......MESSIER!!!!!!!

Not only was he a minus player, he has disgraced the number 11.

[aqua59]

Mark Messier is an egotistical fool.

So, wouldn't the clause in his contract end when the contract is bought out?

Did the sale happen in the time that he was under contract by the Canucks?

If a player has a clause in their contract that gives them a bonus if the team makes the playoffs, but is bought out halfway through the season, then does he still get a bonus when the team makes the playoffs?
