Chris Osman Pasha
you’re one of the best players in the
league but to some extent you’re one of
the biggest problems for the owners
because it was contracts like yours that
were great for you but they’re enormous
that brought up salaries did you feel a
little bit extra pressure not just
yourself but the players in your caliber
who were the players that had drugged
enough salary so much or did you really
do it like solidarity that you know what
in the end the contracts you God helped
everybody it’s like in any business in a
word so in any completely different
business from an atlas it’s the part of
a situation where the journal guys make
more money seven other guys and I’m sure
it’s part of a competition and I
personally and everybody else been
working hard for to get this kind of
contracts and it’s not you know in North
America is nobody pays just for because
you like you so much and you know it’s
been that it’s very hard job is work
hard sport and every painting every
dollar which you at least make I put a
lot of pride behind and sometimes it’s a
negotiation stuff it’s like more like
public y soy another it’s a different
negotiation process but again the
contracts I think any hockey player
wherever contracts they carefully
deserve it because it’s not that it’s
not easy to do and if it would be so
easy everybody would do it it’s the
biggest dream and hopefully I can win
someday and we’re looking forward to do
that with the elders this year
again it’s the biggest dream but in the
same time you you just wanted would like
your best offer you best shot but not
because it’s not like personal game it’s
it’s a collective game where you’ll have
to play together to get a main goal to
win the cup and when they came to the
Islanders a team was on the bottom you
know in the last three years we made the
playoffs it we’ve been kind of hungry
for next step and so hopefully this year
where we can that we can do that
