I had ALSO gotten the impression that Tazer was one of the exceptions to this rule, and that he liked Chicago better than Winnipeg. See, for example, how D Toews was signed after Hawks management liked what they saw of him after he spent all summer training with Tazer in Chicago.
So then: why does he own a condo in Winnipeg?
(I mean, I realize that the answer is 'when you make 6 million a year, why NOT?' but thinking about cap hits as actual salaries that people earn and not just made-up numbers kind of depresses me.)
