The 2013 CBA trade frenzy party thread

[puckhead]

Well they got fined for the deal that got rejected (bullshit), and maybe, maybe not, but if he retires it won't count against the cap if I'm not mistaken

they put a little 'fuck you' into the new CBA for those long deals.
the cap savings over the term of the deal gets charged back if the player retires early.
that contingent charge stays with the team that signed the dealm even if he gets traded.

unless you are Rick DiPietro then its totally possible

Oh I don't know Tim Connolly fits the description.

Kristian "I can bench press 50 pounds" Huselius.

Every team makes mistakes with contracts.

The Sabres gave Connolly a lot of money. How's Leino doing these days? That Ehrhoff deal looks good doesn't it?

The Islanders have Dipietro & Yashin.

Philly has Bryz.
NJ has Kovalchuk
The Rangers were the one's who gave Gomez & Redden their deals.

We could look at every team in the league & fiind at least 1 bad contract.

Interestingly enough, Huselius is the answer here too.

As Tiger Williams would say, "Huselius is done like dinner" - The guy can barely walk these days.

Gardiner demoted (Gillis call Nonis quick)

Leafs demote Gardiner; GM Nonis not in rush for a goalie

@BroadStBull: Jason Arnott agrees to terms with #NYR.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Pacioretty has to have an emergency Apendectomy. He'll be out 3 to 4 weeks. Hope everything is okay. Tough break for the Habs.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Bullshit, take some Midol and suck it up, Nancy.

 

[esls79]

In the 94 playoffs, didn't Patrick Roy have an appendectomy on an off day and start the next game?

Sounds like they are coddling him.

 

[puckhead]

Tentative one-year deal between Rangers and Jason Arnott is OFF, source tells ESPN NY. Was not cleared by NYR team doctors

I'm pretty sure that was in October.

I think there's a big difference if the appendix bursts before the appendectomy.

If they get it before it bursts, a couple days is a possibility, but if it bursts, it's a far more serious situation.

My daughter was hours/minutes away from hers bursting. She had a stomach ache in the middle of her abdomen (not the right side as is typical), went to bed and didn't wake up until 2:00 the next day. When it was still hurting we thought she might have an intestinal blockage. 4 hours later after visits to urgent care and the emergency room, she was in surgery to have it removed. There actually had been some leakage just prior to it being removed. We were very lucky.

Yeah, I had a very good friend with a similar situation.

She was having stomach aches, went in for tests and all of that, and they thought she actually had a tumor because the appendix was so swollen (thought her appendix wasn't visible because of the "tumor"). Went in to remove the "tumor" and realized it was her appendix. Took that out instead. Doctor told her afterward that it was the biggest he'd ever seen an appendix get without bursting.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

When I was about 10 years old I remember a friend fell from his chair in class & had to be rushed to the hospital. He had emergency appendectomy surgery. The whole school was frantic about it. Scary stuff.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

A question for everyone.

I know teams are figuring out what they have right now. How many games will it take for the trades to begin?

i think we dont see anything until halfway through if not at the deadline only. I thought there would be more by now

 

[Nasty_Magician]

With a shortened season I doubt you see a lot of trades because so many teams will still be in it.
