I thought CHI was already getting cap relief for his IR?

They are but there is a loophole that you have to be under the cap on day one of the season before you LTIR anyone. It's problematic if you spend right up to the cap, or closer to the cap than the value of the contract you bury, which Chicago does.

Ahh, I see, thanks for the clarification.

Got to wonder if they go for Faulk as well as Skinner out of Carolina. Also wonder if Hossa ever plays for Arizona.

I am only painfully aware of this because it's what caused Jarmo to offer up Karlsson to Vegas as incentive to take Clarkson's deal on. That contract could have really hurt us when Bob, Werenski and Panarin come due for deals.

5 years and $29.125 million contract extension for The Truth (5.825 aav, there I did the math for you :D )


Devils Twitter was convinced he would resign once his contract was up.

Love Henrique but the Devils don't make the playoffs last year without Vatanen.

Why change the level of padding? Mess with the size if you want, so the pansy no-talent assclown mommy hugging shooters can feel all powerful and handsome, but why reduce the amount of protection? Those scrawny, twig armed wieners now have carbon sticks which whip the puck with incredible force for how weak and impotent their girly arms are. But they can't beat the clearly superior athletes and human specimens that are playing in goal, so those whipped pucks are hitting guys with less padding than before and they are getting hurt.

Maybe that's the plan, hurt all the regular goalies so these multi-million dollar crybabies can have a better chance of scoring at the pace of stone cold legends like Jonathan Cheechoo and Wayne Babych.

Got news for you. There was an accountant who strapped on the pads and you cowardly twats couldn't even score on HIM.

Get better at your game, Nancy. Stop handcuffing us.

Tell us how you really feel. Don't hold back. Don't mince your words.

Now lets do something about the space age materials in players equipment (shoulder and elbow pads), directly related to higher concussion rates.

Are we getting ever so close to "let's pick a rink and a date" type talk here? :wink:
