Back in the day, a middle 6 player would be paid anywhere from 2 - 4 million. Now finishing 5th on your team in scoring gets you just above minimum wage (Tlusty and Bernier). It can be even worse. Gomez finished 3rd on the Devils and didn't even earn a contract.

Glad JB stayed clear of Tlusty. Canucks already have its token soft Czech who does a good Casper impersonation in the playoffs. They don't need another.

Though at $800K, Tlusty might have been worth having around for 15 regular season goals...then if team got into the playoffs, you could have thrown him on the junk heap. On second thought no thanks...players who only show up to the rink when the pay checks are deposited into their bank accounts need not apply with CSE.

20 goal scorer for 800k while we have vets that dont show up when it counts in playoffs ( vrbata, hansen , higgins hamhuis ) what a aste of 15 mill of cap space

If Hamhuis wasn't injured we probably would have won the cup. Do not include him with that group.
