| As coach of the New York Rangers, who won the Stanley Cup. Before the season, he signed a 5-year contract with base salaries of $750k, $850k, $900k, $950k, and 1M. In 1993-94, he earned $660,875 (signing bonus) + $750k (base salary) and a series of bonuses: $50k (first place in the overall standings), $40k (first place in East Conference), $25k (first place in Atlantic division), $50k (winning first round), $75k (winning second round), $100k (winning 3rd round), $200k (winning Stanley Cup), and $60k (various other bonuses.) The Rangers also loaned him $975,000 at a 5% interest rate to purchase a $1.3M house and gave him $850/month for car expenses. After the season, Keenan claimed that the Rangers breached the contract by missing a bonus payment deadline. He immediately negoatiated with Detroit and St.Louis and signed a five-year contract with the Blues. The Rangers asked the NHL to investigate and filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman reviewed the case and decided to allow Keenan to become St.Louis's coach and GM. In compensation, Bettman approved a trade sending Petr Nedved to New York, from St.Louis, in exchange for Esa Tikkanen and Doug Lidster. The Rangers were also ordered to pay $608,000 in bonus with Keenan returning $400,000 of it. Keenan was also suspended for 60 days and fined $100,000. The Blues and Red Wings were fined $250,000 and $25,000 respectively for tampering with Keene's contract, and the Rangers were fined $25,000 for filing a lawsuit while requesting the NHL to investigate. | |||||
