Paul Binder is willing to do almost anything for the team. He's a selfless man and is always a team player, but there is something that just does not sit right with him when being requested to take a pay cut. A few seasons ago, sure, Paul Binder would have been glad to accept anything that was more than a million. This season's Paul Binder though? Not a chance. He is currently leading Atlanta in +/-, goals, and is tied leading in points. If anything, Paul Binder should be getting a decent-sized raise while maybe some others take a pay cut. On top of this, Paul Binder has been trying to take care of his family back home in Austria. Paul Binder would be willing to negotiate, and potentially even void, any and scoring bonuses that may be a part of the contract, but to take an overall pay cut on the contract would unfortunately force an upsetting decision to be made.
