Remember how shocked you were when you heard that Tiger Woods, the golden child himself was slaying some of the dirtiest broads in the world? Yeah well this is 100 times more shocking because were talking about the New Jersey Devils here, the swamp rats themselves. The Devils have never been huge players in free agency but this summer they showed that they're willing to do whatever it takes to get Fatso one more cup, even if it means crippling the franchise for roughly the next 2 decades. The reason this comes as a shock to all that follow hockey is that the Devils attendance is in the bottom third of the league and making a 17 year financial commitment taking a player until he is 44 years old is asinine. This deal also puts the Devils over the cap limit for the 2010-2011 season meaning that Brian Rolston, Bryce Salvadore, Danius Zubrus, and Colin White should take my business card and let me sell their houses because two of these four are on their way out. Let me try and put this in perspective for all you folks out there. By the time this contract is over Justin Bieber will have hair on his sac, Derek Jeter will be 53 and have a plaque in monument park, the devils current GM Lou Lamoriello (who made the deal) will most likely be dead, and I will be 36 years old winin, dinin and 69'in with my wife. Shit, by the end of this deal the New York Mets may just win a world series (lets not get carried away now). But I'll tell you this much when I'm 36 years old and the Devils inevitably go bankrupt I will not accept any transfer fans into the greatest arena in the world.
