Well, kudos to the Panthers. Various sources are reporting that they laid off ten workers citing a bad economy. Somewhere, however, they found the money to sign Jassen Cullimore to a one-year deal.
Cullimore, for those who don't know, is the lazy player the Blackhawks and Canadiens both desperately tried to trade after realizing that his $1.9M salary was way too much to be giving away for free.
No word yet on the terms of the contract, but let's say it's atleast $650,000. Sounds like to afford that, 10 or so jobs would need to be cut. (EDIT: It's $830,000.)
This story is just ridiculous. The Miami Herald listed a lot of other f-ed up things going on in that organization, like not matching employee 401(k) contributions and, even worse than that, employees can't even send Express Mail or overnight packages without approval. I gotta say, while I don't wish ill on any team, I feel a little better about the state of the Islanders right about now.
