Didn't see it posted anywhere, sorry if it is as it's rather "old" news (at least in internet terms)

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81ecced6/article/report-no-salary-cuts-during-lockout-for-panthers-employees?module=HP_headlines

"He told us the only one who had to worry about losing any money this year was him," one Panthers employee told the newspaper.

Richardson promised his employees that they'd be taken care of even if the labor stoppage extended for months, telling them he had planned on the contingency well before this offseason.

Interesting parts in bold.

But But But ESPN sed Richusenz was teh cheepz!!...

He knows that even if the lockout extends for months, it is bad business to lay off employees. The ones who can easily find jobs and are most valued are the ones who can go elsewhere and often do. The ones who are content to be laid off and collect employment and come back are often the ones who can be replaced and aren't always your strongest workers. So in the end you retain the ones you could very well lose, and lose the ones you most want to retain. So it only good business sense to keep everyone if you can knowing this will be resolved by late this summer if not sooner. Now if it were going to extend into next year, things might be different.

Sounds as if he truly cares about his employees which is a good thing.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
