The issue is the 8-12 guys on the roster making between 2-4 million bucks a year.

Get a good 2nd/3rd line player made better by great talent around him - and I give you exibit A - Martin LaPointe of the Boston Bruins.

PU-LEEEZE! Martin LaPointe? if I played with Federov on a checking line, I'd be a star player too.

We've seen the end of Martin Lapointe, I think.
