Hockey Bargains & Bandits

Article Abstract:

The National Hockey League's payment system is such that younger players are paid less than older players. This means that sometimes the best players will not get the highest salary. A player under the age of 31 is considered a 'Group II' free agent, meaning that he can negotiate with other teams but his own team has the right to match an offer.
