The NHL Arena Welcome Message

[damned]

The ill-will created by the tough contract negotiation usually ends badly and forces a trade down the line or else the player leaves as a restricted free agent as soon as he can.

This year, two talented young players find themselves as restricted free agents without contracts as training camp opens. They are Phil Kessel of the Boston Bruins and Brandon Dubinsky of the New York Rangers. This tough contract negotiation is forced in part by the stagnating salary cap and in part by bad salary cap management, which didn’t leave room for these players.
