the players do get the money. its how its spread out. if 1 gets more than he's worth, someone has to get less than they are worth. its a zero sum game for the players. At the end of the day 81mill per team went to the players. A good GM will try to spend wisely, so he can get good players to field his team, as opposed to the scraps on the bottom since he overspent on players that were not worth it.
I get that. Now Suter is in Dallas getting paid....I guess $12 million a year going forward because the Wild overspent (or whatever it is). Or, another way to look at it is, Dallas is getting a heck of a discount on Suter.
