I think Bloch was wrong in a way in giving this ruling. Others like Hossa, Zetterberg, Franzen, Luongo have similar contracts that were accepted.<br />I do want to thank you for your insights on the CBA and all your interviews on the Team 1200. I actually learned something listening to you. You clearly pointed out that in the CBA it is written that even though a contract is signed and agreed to, the league can come back and decide that the contract is not valid later on. Why in the hell would the players agree to and sign a CBA with this language in it is crazy!<br />Although I have said all along that this contract should be valid because there were no clear rules stating it is illegal, I am not a fan and do not agree with teams and players doing this kind of contract.Daniel Gilbeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718490780895789896noreply@blogger.com
