Niemi's Agent, Bill Zito, on Mully & Hanley

[Captain Iago]

Bill Zito Talks with Mully and Hanley About the Blackhawks Salary Cap

Nothing really too groundbreaking here...

4 minutes of intro crap, of which Hanley says some pretty inaccurate crap. Zito does correct them and state some CBA issues that they are both clearly ignorant about (or playing ignorant about - which I might be giving them too much credit for since they're talking hockey and not football and college sports).

I like Niemi...but I think there's Goalies just as good or better that we can get cheaper.

Id be just fine with Turco if he would sign cheaper than what Niemi is awarded at arbitration

Why not keep some stability at the goalie position and just resign him. He helped us win the Cup for crying out loud. Not to mention Huet was a mess last year. lol

At who's terms?

Uhh, I believe thats the idea but there's this thing called the salary cap.....

The bolded word is the key part. He surely did help, but he wasnt the main reason. That is why we will probably be seeing him walk because he wants WAY too much money
