All very interesting. Number of teams able to take Gaborik decreases with number of teams signing players to long-term deals. It also makes CBA negotiations interesting. Do owners still think they have cost certainty? What if people stop buying tickets and they are stuck with these huge long-term contracts?

More on that later. For now, come see what you've been missing before you completely miss out! :P Gaborik will not re-sign. You heard it here first. (but ask Green*...I am a glass-half-empty kind of guy). Thanks BG, but it looks like another musical opportunity will take it’s place.

In fact he really might not leave, given his current state of burn-out. Oh BG, my DH would LOOOOVE that. In fact he really might not leave, given his current state of burn-out.

Owners have the ability to spend the same amount of money, whether they choose to throw most of it at 3 or 4 players or spread it around more evenly throughout the roster. Whether or not an owner "overpays" for a player now doesn't change the fact that a Cap is in place. No longer can teams like the Rangers, etc, have a payroll of say, $70 while other teams are spending $25-$35 million. The Cap, obviously, prevents that.
