Kiprusoff focused on hockey, not money.

Miikka Kiprusoff has stated that his main focus right now is on the ice, and not on any negotiations.
Although he would still like to have a deal closed.
"That would be nice to get it done before the season starts," Kiprusoff said. "But that's more my agent's job to do that. I'm going to concentrate on hockey starting (Friday)."
Kiprusoff is making $3.6 million in the final season of his existing deal. New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur, a three-time and current Vezina Trophy winner, is making $5.2 million while Vancouver's Roberto Luongo is making $6.75 million this season.
"He (agent Larry Kelly) was talking to Darryl (Calgary GM Sutter) about the numbers," Kiprusoff said. "I stay away from that, but for sure he (Kelly) knows, this is the No. 1 place where I would like to stay. ... I would love to stay here."
"We're talking, my agent and Darryl and we want to get it done."
