C'mon Dash. Why settle for second best.
that goes for you, too. :D

lol...I figure I gotta keep you VanCity boys on your toes for a little while. As for Hamhuis, Flames can't afford him, got too much money tied up in defense as it is.

Losing those precious seconds finding all those gifs would be my bet :)

I'm getting them as they happen, but I guess the ones I'm looking at are behind a little bit.

Just get your 2oooth post already, will ya......and make it about Kovy coming to Buffalo. :)

That's a tremendous gif...I'm afraid mine is quite poor in comparison.

Chris Higgins apparently wants to test the market. Boy, that Jokinen for Kotalik and Higgins deal sure looks sweet, doesn't it?

Isn't Boucher also coming back for next year? It looks like the flyers have a full complement of tenders at the moment.

And as we all know, the last thing Flyers fans give their tenders are compliments...

they signed leighton so he will not hit free agency. they will still try to sign a goalie and if not then they will go with leighton and sign a defenseman. if they sign another goalie then boucher will most likely get waived.

Brind'amour to be bought out and hang 'em up to join the front office.
(he can't be waived sue to his no movement clause)

his full $3m will count against the Canes salary cap - ouch

retired, not bought out... doesn't that clear the cap room? Or did he sign his last deal over 35? damn, now I gotta look it up

last deal was signed north of 35, so cap hit stays.
the tweet I read (TSN) said they were going to buy him out, but I guess it's a matter of semantics at this point.

The CBA also contains a 35-and-over rule, sometimes referred to as the Mogilny rule. This rule states that if a player signs a multi-year deal when the player is 35 or older, starting in the second year of the contract, that amount will count towards the team's salary cap regardless of whether the player is on the active roster or not. This is designed to keep teams from signing older players to lucrative front-loaded contracts, thus saving cap room, in which there is no expectation the player will actually play in the latter years.
