Don’t you think this story would have had more legs to it if Bruce Garrioch would have named the ‘league executive’?
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
League executives weren’t impressed Wednesday when the Phoenix Coyotes — still being run by the NHL and reportedly losing $5 million (all terms US) per month — were allowed to add salary at the trade deadline.
A league executive told QMI Agency following the 3 p.m. deadline that he “added it up” and the Coyotes added more than $2.5 million to their payroll this season by acquiring the likes of Boston blueliner Derek Morris and Colorado’s Wojtek Wolski.
“You know where that money comes from?” one furious league executive asked. “It comes out of the owners’ pockets and they aren’t going to be happy with this because they’re already not happy with having to foot the bill for Phoenix in the first place.”
