Heck, I guess he deserves credit, he put in "we don't negotiate in season, rule." Sure most businesses do everything they can to lock up key employees...but why not got the other direction and openly challenge them to suceed...maybe because it drives up price when you actually have the real deal or possibly because it causes ill will where people feel under appreciated. <BR/><BR/>Ironcially, it does not matter becasue indeed he did negotiate in season...or at least he said in the media that he talks with Drury and his agent in season...so if that's true, which he admits it is then what benefit did he gain by lyingvto both the fans and the rest of players? <BR/><BR/>Feeling berayed yet...well don't worry, because they reached a deal and accordingly to Drury's camp forgot (or did not send) a contract for two weeks thereafter...ask old Larry about that and they say they didn't reach a deal...and would never forget to send a contract...but wait Larry, you told us something totally different. <BR/><BR/>Karma is tough. <BR/><BR/>Accordingly, I think Lindy was upset after he agreed to sign for less (thinking that he had a shot at winning the whole thing) and Darcy even said, "we will not be as good this year." Finally, Tom does not know about the nuts and bolts of hockey...he's paying for it and if Darcy brought in the guys and Lindy made it work...I submit, once again that Larry had killed Buffalo...again.LQShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390797381941784333noreply@blogger.com
