Ongoing NHL Thread Part V minutes for fighting

[tducey]

Yeah, Mcdavid was pointless last night. He's a great player but he can't do it relatively alone. Who knows? Maybe Hall will end up back in Edmonton.

KHL bound. Doubt a team would touch him now.

Kings still stuck with his cap hit too, they just don't have to pay him.

HA HA

If Kovalchuk doesn't spend 5 of his prime years in the KHL, he likely gets 500+ goals and over 1000 points for his NHL career. Those are likely hall of fame type numbers, but with all the baggage he carries around, I don't think he gets a sniff.

I dont think this is correct if theyre mutually agreeing to contract termination. The cap hit for the kings goes away

/ie berglund last year

seeing lots of people indicating that the Kings will be on the cap hook for Ilya.

Seems a pretty convenient cap circumvention tool to "mutually agree" to term a contract. More convenient than LTIR, so it seems weird that it would work. "hey, we want you to quit, we'll pay you 30% of your contact to agree to term the rest of it".

I'm surprised that Ilya hasn't either tested positive for PEDs or charged with smuggling drugs into Mexico at this point. I mean, that's standard operating procedure for the Kings.

Thats not what’s happening... the player is walking away from money ... what you’re describing in bold would be a buyout ... which isn’t circumvention

I think Ilys's cap hit stays as its an over 35 contract

Ding Ding Ding.

Maybe if dean lombardi was still around ... Canucks should have hired him

Yup. I'm not sure if the contract has to 35 or older when signed or takes them into 35 or older territory. Either way it applies to Ilya though.

For 9 points in 17 games this year I'd make him play. He's bad but he can still score a bit. And he might recover some of his game. Make him leave and suspend him. Then you get the cap hit back. If not, he can play 12 minutes a night on the 4th line and PP.

If it's an official buyout. I was thinking more along the lines of "Look, there's a duffel bag in your hotel room. How'd that get there?" kind of shenanigans.

The player agrees to walk away from money and avoid the cap penalty for the team but somehow finds some money elsewhere. Consultant fees or no responsibility job.
