Around the League 47 Vancouver Collects All the Petterssons

The Rangers of this era make for an interesting book down the line. Lots of material:

- PR staffer firing
- Panarin settlement

How much you wanna bet it eventually comes out those 2 are directly related, as well as the banning of the social media team from traveling with the team this year, as the team tried its best to cover it all up.
 
Sigh, and like clockwork, HFB has completely already devolved to essentially calling the woman in the Panarin case a slut who should have known better while excusing Panarin for 'just being a little too aggressive when he got the wrong signal'.
There’s always one or so out of the norm in every situation.

To be fair, it is quite the minority observation though.
 
Geez apparently in that Panarin article there was another reference that one of the team's social media employees was giving a player their prescription anxiety pills to deal with flying.

Which... that isn't good, either

or at least that's what it sounds like.
 
You hate to see it



Nah just kidding, watching him drag the Stars down right after the trade has been nice


As someone who has watched a surprising amount of Dallas games since that trade, the loss of Heiskanen is the far likelier candidate for why they've fallen off a cliff. He did everything for them.

Though there was some talk about how much Stankoven was loved by the players there and trading him didn't sit well initially
 
It has to do with the 100 percent rule and maxing out schedule A and B bonuses by the final year of the ELC.

The athletic had an explainer article for Demidov and his 525k Conn Smythe bonus. Same applies to Nikishin, but the amount is doubled since he's on a 2-year ELC. Interesting note is that option isn't typically included for highly-drafted prospects signing at the end of a season because it's not available if the team is already eliminated from qualifying for the playoffs. Undoubtedly that played a factor in getting Demidov signed now, so a double bonus for Montreal that they made it this year.
 
Huh. The first time I hear of a 100 percent rule that apparently specifically affects the entry-level contracts.

Never thought of this until now. Of the NHL players only get paid during the regular season and Nikishin plays in the playoffs, he is playing for free right? He has no money at all from the NHL only what he made in the KHL. I would assume there's some type of injury insurance in case he has a career altering injury.

Also that would mean Makar who came from college had nothing?

The playoffs teams get some sort of bonus sum that is then divided between the players. Plus, what bleedgreen said, his first year signing bonus should be paid to him on some date which they have agreed on when negotiating for the contract.
