Yeah and thick-skulled cement heads like you. Cujo is a non-winner.

It's the goalie's job to let fewer goals than the guy at the other end. Period. Get the W! One may excuse one early playoff exit but not two. That removes any serious doubt.

Sounds like BS

Yes it's true Dats didn't win his award just prior to his contract but there's no stopping Holland from equating the two contracts now. He could say that Dats contract was fair the way it turned out and that perhaps Dats' contract had some room for player development and improvement factored in. They've both won major awards and were superstars in the playoffs. I think that this will be the type of angle Holland will use at bargaining. You watch.

Must I? I think a better comparison is what happens in house, ie Holland's past contracts. As someone above mentioned, Holland can say "the way we do things here is...". I thought that Z played marginally better than Dats. these playoffs and don't forget, Dats lost two points to the refs making the incorrect call on goalie interference. Pavel has won the Selke trophy, while once again being our leading scorer again this past regular season. So sorry, I don't think it's justified.

Zetterberg shouldn't get a penny more than Datsyuk. There's no argument whatsoever.
