Might as well call it the Sakic, Bure, Kariya, Jagr, Fedorov spending spree. Kind of shows me atleast why the Bruins didn't pay this money. Can anyone tell me they would shell out this money for any of these guys, maybe Sakic in the 9 million, but anyone else? Gratton surprises me, who would ever give him 10 million?
