08:19 AM ET 09.05 | Wearing a new cropped haircut, Alex Ovechkin came with some attitude to the Caps practice facility Monday. "I think it's not fair for us," Ovechkin said when asked how he felt about proposed cuts to contracts that were agreed to under the previous collective bargaining agreement. "Why they sign us to long-term deals and that kind of money, too, after that, when the CBA is done they want to cut our salary?" ... "If they going to cut a percentage of the contract and years I don't think lots of guys who signed American deals are going to come back and play here. It's not reasonable to be here."

Agree to a point, but if these guys signed to big money long term deals keep pulling Gomez's, why the hell should they keep making the big loot?

I was going to agree with Ovie. I mean the owners sign a contract, and they should live up to the terms of the contract. You make a good point, though that some guys will phone it in when they have the guaranteed payday.

Which is why contracts should have a base salary and loads of incentive clauses. No greater motivator than knowing if you perform well, your paycheck is higher.
