anyone know of any big contracts that are injured right now ... like ltir injured? Backstrom with the Wild is an LTIR right now correct?

Yes: He is recovering from elbow surgery & therefore is ineligible for a buyout.

Looks like Minny will be forced to carry 3 goalies on their roster next season. :(

DiPietro wasn't injured when he was bought out, he was active in the AHL the season before the buyout and played trying to catch on elsewhere the October following it.

I think the only way it could happen would be if the team challenged the unable to play diagnosis.

Unless there's some clause that allows a player to voluntarily make himself available for buyout?

Well I, for one, will welcome the death of stupid gimmicks to decide hockey games.

Here's another idea. At High School hockey camp last night (my son was in goal), they played a small area game (Cross ice, in one zone) where the skaters were divided in half. One coach with each side. A puck would be dumped and each coach would hold up a number of fingers. The players had to look at their coach and that number of players were on that "side" until a goal or the whistle. Sometimes it was 4 on 1. Sometimes 2 on 2. 3 on 3. 4 on 3.

IT WAS EXCITING! ARE YOU LISTENING BETTMAN?

Leafs and Wings on October 9th should be interesting - Rangers/Blackhawks and Sharks/Kings play on opening night

Flyers and Panthers host home openers against each other! That should be fun - Flyers also start the season in Tampa on October 8th
