Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 1830150, member: 1969"] Are you talking about the qualifying offer of 6-7 million, or a long term deal of $10+ mllion annually? You could blame the agent for not having him accept thje qualifying offer while it was on the table. That would hav netted him 3 to 4 million more. That has some merit. At the same time around 8 teams still have cap space of more or similar to the QO and the MLE tha many teams hold is about the same as the QO. The fact that no attractive offers came from any of those parties similar to the QO once he became a UFA, seems to be as much on Dion in my view. If you are looking at the lack of a long term deal of $10M+ per season, how can that be on the agent? That is on Dion. One could argue he would have got this if OKC had relieved him earlier, but I don't think it hurt him to that extent. [/QUOTE]
