Larry Brooks of the NY Post: “Perhaps the most dishonorable episode in recent Rangers’ history was settled yesterday when arbitrator Richard Bloch ruled that the New York Rangers must indeed pay Bobby Holik and Jed Ortmeyer their respective signing bonuses the team withheld during and after the 2004-05 NHL lockout.”
Here the entire article courtesy of the NY Post.
The article notes that the Rangers were the only team during the lockout to not pay up signing bonuses. I really don’t understand why the Rangers went to all this trouble to withhold the bonus money from these two players. Never mind the fact that they spent time and money on legal proceedings. It appears the Rangers would have been far better off just paying these bonuses a long time ago and moving on.
