This is only a negotiating figure folks. When you put in your salary requirements, you don't ask for what you currently make, or less, do you? Or course he's not worth that amount of money. He won't get that from another team either. When testing the free agent market, which just started today, you can't take the first deal thrown at you prior to. Now this type of thing has backfired before. Dockery could be without a team for a while before settling for '2nd string' money. The skins may have to make another costly move to aquire a starting quality G via the draft or trade.
