WOW: Holiday Monday Edition
This ain’t no way to start a holiday Monday.
The Chicago Blackhawks it seems have apparently:
"walked away from the $2.75 million contract that was awarded to Antti Niemi in arbitration, which will make the Stanley Cup-winning goalie an unrestricted free agent.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the team made the decision on Monday. Instead, the Blackhawks have reportedly signed veteran netminder Marty Turco to a one-year, $1.3 million contract."
Hmm.
The Stanley Cup winning goalie can be had for $2.75 per season? Marty Turco can wind down his storied career Chez YourTown and he costs $1.3 million per?
AND WE HAVE WHO SIGNED AGAIN?
AT HOW MUCH AGAIN?
AND WHERE IS HE STARTING THE YEAR AGAIN?
Wow.
