Another albatross that can't be moved if/when it goes south.

They now have $18M tied up in Briere, Richards and Carter. Not the most cap-friendly team.

That's not that bad. I bet there are some Penguins fans getting nervous about Malkin's "albatross".

Those three guys (Carter, Richards and Briere) are good players.

i'm not too worried about Carter's contract. i think philly is doing what they can to put a winning team on the ice for years to come. they have some good young players and a few possible trade candidates in a few years.
i guess this should put the carter trade rumours to bed.

Well, there is no NTC/NMC in the 1st year Smile

Not the kind of guy you want to go long term with IMO. But hey, they have their entire roster locked up for a while, they should be the beasts for a long time.

I'm not a huge fan of this contract. They're locking down their significant players, but what happens exactly if you get a season where things don't go right? Where's the flexibility gonna come from? What about re-signing players in the next 2-3 years? Guys like JvR and Coburn.

FingersCrossed that the cap goes up? if not they have some players that can be trade bait.
they have a good roster, even if they slump one year they'll be a threat the next.

Word around the campfire is that the cap will go up between 3 and 4 million because of new TV packages the NHL is signing. I guess that's where they feel a little safer.
