I agree that Nick isn’t particularly greedy, but don’t believe that he will take less money than Rafalski.

I don’t think Lidstrom is above taking a pay cut to stay in Detroit either.

Yes Dawg – two schools of thought.
The Conference Board of Canada has Brian Burke like optimism.
Sources that I am reading in the U.S. are saying that we aren’t close to hitting the bottom yet.
I’ve got a couple of people in my family laid off already.
I’m not optimistic about the economy and thus think that the cap will decrease.

There’s two schools of thought…one the cap will fall…the 2nd, the cap will stay about the same. Either way, there will be lots of teams in trouble. Calgary, Detroit, SJ and Chicago in the west. Boston, Pittsburgh, NYR and Philly in the east. And the CBA will be renegotiated after that. The Chinese curse “May you live in interesting times” has never seemed more apt.
