redwings1914 18 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Per TSN, $1.25m base salary with $10k per game played, so a possible $2.07m year. Apologies if this has already been posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egroen 384 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Again, seems like an overpayment. What more does Roberts bring that Dallas Drake did not bring us last year? Is Roberts 3-4 times the player of Drake? Salaries say so.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grind_Lines_#1_Fan 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 I dont see it anywhere else, but its a good deal for Tampa. I'm sure every team wishes they had a player like Gary Roberts, but there aren't enough players like that to go around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericho613 74 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 Melrose is probably in love with Roberts, he was bitching about the Penguins not playing him in the first game of the finals. I'm gonna laugh so hard when Tampa fails this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElCapitan 14 Report post Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Take away Roberts and the dollar amount of the contract, I like these kinds of contracts for older players who's roles/performance/health are in questions. It both protects the team's interest and adds incentive for the player. Edited for grammar Edited June 30, 2008 by ElCapitan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
