Brian Burke, once again was disgusted by Kevin Lowe's move to sign young players at high prices. Burke, believeing that Lowe has raised the standards and price levels for young players, states that Lowe has hurt other teams.
Last year, with the massive signing of Dustin Penner, Burke was infuriated. Ever since that day, Burke and Lowe have been jabbing and making fun of each other.
Burke, after signing Corey Perry to a 5 yr deal, worth 26.63 million, stated: "You go right now from entry-level to what used to be the third contract, thanks to two offer sheets from Kevin Lowe... Thanks to the Oilers, the second contract has dissapeared."
Inflating prices have always occured in eveyr league, not just hockey. But Lowe has greatly increased salaries by offering them an unusual amount of money. Should there be a cap for these young players? Should these players prove themselves before being given a large salary? Is Brian Burke just being a whiner (he does after all, possess a large amount of young players)?
