thanks for the article

“I have to think of the long term, not the short term,” he said. “No one has ever taken advantage of me in my life and they’re not going to start now.

“We thought it best not to sign.”

It's no wonder hockey players these days are signing contracts that are leading to the bankruptcy of the league - their agents are completely poisoning their minds. A rookie who is unproven at the pro level considers a $3 million over 3 years contract to be taking "advantage" of him. God - I wish someone would offer me a $1 million a year contract to do my job. He even admits he'd be able to help out at home with that money, but has to "think long-term."

Okay, here's long-term, Anthony. You're what, 18?19? The average hockey player retires probably around age 36, and stars average about 38. That's 18-20 years, and your first contract is your smallest. You become the better than average player or even star player that you're projected to be, your second contract will be easily 4 times as much for a few years, and then will incrementally get larger over the lifetime of your career. If you'd signed this year, you would have made $1 million. Instead, you're making almost minimum wage in juniors.

Stewart's contract next season (...that the NHL plays, I mean) will no doubt still be under a rookie cap. He won't make up for the $1 million he loses this year, plus one year's compounded interest on whatever portion he saves, and he'll have to wait one more season to get his larger contract. Not a smart move, and his agent's a dolt with no skills in regards to money.

Stewart's the one who loses out, and it's all due to agents who, while looking after their own pocketbooks, take advantage of these young men who are, after all, still kids, and are going to listen to the advice of "wiser" adults. :rant:

I'm done my rant, now. :D

ya with the new cba next year i dont think he'll get 1 mill either.
that a greedy kid.

The agent filled Stewart's mind with that B/S I wish someone offered me 3 million for 3 years to play a fricking game.

Congrats. That is so true. The same goes with players that hold out on the last year to try and sqeeze a few more dollars out of it. Instead of holding out and not playing or trying to get traded and not playing, just play, and when the year is up, go where ever you want and ask for what ever you want.


Example. Lindros -- Doesn't want to play and holds out... pisses everyone off and doesn't play for what like a year and a half or longer. He was making 8 million a year. He could have just played the year, been done with it and got or went where ever he wanted to. No BS and it would be his own fault if wanted to much and didn't get signed.


It's amazing so many players want to try and sqeeze that extra couple dollars then play, if all they would do is play, and play better they would be able to demand what they are worth. Granted some players listen to thier agents to much and think they are worth more then they are. And the younger players will hurt more in the long run.

a year of that lindros holdout was due to concussions. since no one knew what kind of player he would be when he got back it made his holdout doubly ludicrous. he wasnt even medically cleared to play til AFTER he signed his new deal with the rangers...and THEN he had to work out a deal with the insurance companies to allow him to keep playing. he played either all the games or almost all the games last year, but this guy is still one hit from communing on a deep intellectual level with fruit smoothies and roofing tacks.

thank god we got the rangers to give 9 mil to third liners, head cases, and over the hill offensive dmen and drive up salaries across the rest of the league.

also going against stewart getting signed was the fact that he faded in the second half of camp. he, like horton, started out a ball of fire but the more nhl regulars appeared in the opposing lineups, the more invisible he got. he seemed almost starstruck in the game here in anaheim.

but this guy is still one hit from communing on a deep intellectual level with fruit smoothies and roofing tacks.



:lol: that's a great one!
