Hey, I like the fact that it prevented a 3-pt game. As mentioned earlier, ROR is a good player, but no where near 6.5 million.

Feaster is very lucky Greg Sherman is an idiot...

he really should have let him take him the guy is NOT the next Crosby. that 1st round most likely would have been very good and he would have had 2 for a deep draft. hell he could have tried to claim him no

fuck I wish it would have went down (sorry dash) that would have been really fun to watch

It's almost like these NW division GM's are trying to out do each other with sheer ignorance, incompetence, and flat out stupidity.

Well Feaster is a lawyer, maybe throw in some arrogance as well esls. Maybe he thought he could win the court case (if it got that far).

i dont think Bettman would ever allowed it to get that far. that would be too big an embarrassment. Im sure there is some rule for this type of stupidity.

freidman brought it up in the 30 thoughts

if Feaster really had a different interpretation of the rule from the outset ... before he offered the contract ... wouldnt or shouldnt he have seeked to get clarification and ask NHL office if his interpretation was correct?

i call BS that there was ever a different interpretation from the begining or that he even knew of the issue ... it was a face (and job) saving move for him to come out and say that

We'll never know for sure, but that's certainly a likely possibility. What we do know is that Feaster (with a huge assist from Sherman) screwed up the Avalanche salary structure

potentially screwed up alot of teams salary structures as Im sure a few players will use that 6.5 number as a comparable for their own contract negotiations

Caman jstew, what's wrong with paying a 55 point player 6.5 million?

This comes down to a matter of trust in the league among the non-owners of the league.

If I was going to make a headline grabbing move and didn't trust the league to NOT tell other GMs that I was trying it and possibly get scooped, I would have gone with my gut on interpretation and not asked clarification.

The NHL has a terrible record at keeping secrets.

I dont buy that because ROR's agent would have been talking to many gms around the league asking them to jump in to offer his client an offer sheet ... and would have been playing teams off one another to get ROR a higher salaried offer sheet

the teams that talked to ROR's agent would have known that calgary was in play anyways ... and the teams that knew ROR played in the KHL after the NHL season started and knew about the rule would have been eating their popcorn and waiting for the shitstorm
