lol... an NHL team has offered Yashin a contract

[puckhead]

... according to his agent, who is clearly just trying to drum up interest after Yashin's KHL team declined to extend his contract.

Don't make me fly back to Calgary, Jay...

I hear the Flyers are shopping around for former KHL players..

 

[GagneFire12]

I would guess the Islanders, but the tweet said an "NHL" team.

Oooh...burn.

/I guess that eliminates the Oilers as well (haha)

 

[DChero]

It has to be the Caps. The offer is him paying them. It's the reverse-cap hit scheme.

I heard the contract was to clean toilets.

It must be time for Carol Alt to resume her movie career...

Did she really start one?

Actually Carol has apparently done a TV spot in favor of the August 1 bond measure for the Isles.

He has a contract with an NHL team. The Islanders pay him $2.2 million for the next 4 years. He agrees to not lace up his skates with a blue and orange jersey on.

That's his cap hit. He's already received his buyout.

Alright, alright. Just trying to make a funny.

Serious question though, if he signs with an NHL club, does he have to pay any of it back?

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

I bet it's the Flyers.... I hear they're interested in Daigle as well...

Also, I hear they are talking with Lindros.

Not that I know of. Yashin is a free agent. He can sign with any team. I think it's important to point out the KHL team he played for last year has walked away from him. I think this is just a tactic to garner interest in him by his agent.

no.
buy out closes the deal on the last contract, and he becomes a UFA

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

I wonder if he managed to blow his $17M buyout already, or if he's just looking for a little padding.

 

[elocomotive]

no.
