| Because of the lockout, his NHL salary of $1,140,000 was prorated for the 48-game season. As coach of the St. Louis Blues. Prior to the season, Keenan claimed that the Rangers breached the contract by missing a bonus payment deadline. He immediately negotiated with Detroit and St.Louis and signed a five-year contract with the Blues for $5.7M. 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. | |||
