Once more, the Habs management had come up with a brilliant and generous idea : as the team would, once more too, be on the road for most of the holiday season, why not invite the players’ families to Florida where the team will play on December 26, so the players can enjoy a really warm family Christmas ?
Great concept unfortunately crashed by the salary cap : all gifts to the players’ families are forbidden, because they would amount to a way around the salary cap.
The players who were interviewed about the issue all sounded bitterly disappointed ; could it be that the cancelled family trip to Florida was the real reason behind the team slump ?
In any case, we are glad to point to the Canadien and particularly the players that the League can hardly prevent their families from travelling to Florida, provided they pay for their expenses.
If the players were so keen about the project, we think most of them can afford to go ahead with it.
Or was the idea really to cheat the salary cap ? Was Karl-Heinz Schreiber expected to fly down as Santa Claus and distribute cash bonuses ?
