Alfie left a lot of money on the table over the years, taking hometeam discounts to play here. I guess Murray/Melnyk kind of thought that would happen one more time, whereas I guess Alfie thought that he would finally get market value on a one year deal. It's not like he had to take less cash so we'd have more cap space. He was asked to take less cash, AGAIN, because our owner's finances are in the toilet.
We brought Clarkson in to town to romance him for a day in some hope of signing him. What did we do to sign Alfie? We offered him $4M, rejected his offer of $6M and then left it at that. Then apparently we asked him what he wanted in terms of salary. Well, you dumb female parental unit diddlers, he already told you...$6M!
