Re:When was the last time...
I think there\'s a difference between giving your franchise a \"discount\" and having them try to take you to the cleaners. As soon as players start making a habit of taking discounts, they will be abused (brodeur is a unique case).
If you are willing to work for less than you should to help your company (in ANY profession), sooner or later, you\'ll be taken advantage of.
I mean seriously, lots of players would love to stay with their home teams, but they are treated like crap (like they owe the team something). Take Luongo for example. He wanted to stay in florida, and help them build a championship program. It was completely reasonable for him to want 6 mil a year. Why didn\'t florida just pay him? They didn\'t give him 6 mil because they thought that they were entitled to keeping luongo for less than he (and everyone else) knew he was worth.
In order for the tide to change and for players to take less, GM\'s and teams in general need to start treating their franchise players a little bit better in every regard (salary related and otherwise).
