I agree, but they gave their approval of the structure.

Not for 10 Playoff Games

just for 10 games played.

Upon the completion of Game No 10 that Shanahan plays in, the Rangers will stroke him a check for 2 XXLarge

To keep the Rangers under the cap.

Granted it was actually a very big contract for him, im not gonna get into all the home discounting crap - but his salary counts as 2.5 for this season with bonuses of 2.8 slated onto next years cap if need be. It gives the Rangers flexibility.

If you are thinking why don't they do that for every player, you can't.

You can only give performance bonuses for certain players - rookies, players over 35, guys who've been injured, etc.

There are stipulations.

So Shannys taking a risk with the 2.8 but not really.

[nyrcallahan24]

thank you

[Fletch]

if he plays in 10 games he will make more than he did as a UFA coming to NY.

Eh, whatever it is, it is.

[Mason530]

People shouldn't really view 10 games = $2.8 million. It is strictly cap manupilation. Look at it as $4.8 million contract. They broke it up in 2 parts in order to fit under the cap.

I should have said the "lack of home discounting"

I didn't want to get into another Shanny's greedy/not greedy discussion. Thats what i meant by that

We've exahausted that one, right Fletch?

[Fletch]

I knew what you meant - I just had to reiterate. I too don't want to talk about that contract either.
