[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 2938734, member: 2012"] He's forcing himself to trade real assests away, by signing huge, long-term contracts for players like Elias (7 years), Colin White (6 years), and Jamie Langenbrunner (5 years). Now, everyone agrees that Elias is probably worth his contract, but White for 6 years, at $3 million US, and Langenbrunner for 5 years, at $2.6 million US! That's nuts! There isn't any way for anyone to judge how those two players are going to playing in 5 to 6 years. Plus, what if those three players, however unlikely, tank? The Devils will be stuck with their contracts, just like with Alexander Mogilny. Yes, the Oilers took that risk with Pronger, and they were forced to trade him away because he wasn't happy. But that was Chris Pronger, not Colin White! Now, I'm sure if Elias wanted out of New Jersey then the Devils would have an entire league calling them, regardless of Elias' contract. So that would be the same situation as with Pronger. However, if Elias tanks it then New Jersey could be in trouble, just like what happened with Yashin in Ottawa. It's the risk factor. Lou is taking HUGE risks that might cripple his team later. And he's going to have to trade away, at least, one or two of his big name players just to get the Devils' remaining RFAs under contract. And he's going to have to tade those players away for picks or prospects. It's a bad situation to be in. Trust me, Oilers fans just went through it. Imagine the pain that New Jersey fans will go through when Lou is FORCED to trade away players that WANT to be in New Jersey, but have to be moved to make Cap room, so that the Devils don't forefit games. I'd be pissed. :mad: KF72 [/QUOTE]
