I am 1001% fine with this decision. You know how i feel about arbitration in general… If you play poorly, can the team re-negotiate and pay you less?? $#!& NO!!!! I mean…no. The fact is – yes, Niemi is a Stanley Cup winning goaltender. But so are alot of other guys out there that could’ve done just as well btw the pipes with the defense The Boys had. And now we have a legitimate all-star goalie who is jacked to play here, at about half the price. Nemo, loved ya buddy, but this is a business. Gotta worry about the future, not just the here and now. Time to Party with Marty!!
