If this number is correct, what the hell is the matter with LA that they wouldn't give what is definately a reasonable contract to one of their best players and definately their most famous (of all time next to Gretzky). I'm shocked at LA. Their owner is a billionare!! How do you not keep him. This is the equal of Lou not giving Stevens a $500K raise to stay with the Devils at the end of this contract.
