Can someone please tell me the understanding/meaning behind this "hometown discount" stuff. I've always thought it to be for players that are either born there, have an affinity with that team or are so happy there that they'd be happy to stay for ever.

A "hometown discount" is used by teams to retain players.

For players acquired at the deadline? Not really.

I think he's looking for some dough. I'm guessing 3.75 for 3 years.

That's what I said.. He will make as much as Gorges? and that somehow makes sense?

$3.9M seems a bit much at this stage, but I can certainly fathom $3.5M.

What other ufa dmen that are out there, and how many teams need somebody like Grossmann? He is a good pker and all around defender, probably worth about 3.5, but so many teams have cap space and need that 4 would not surprise me.
