hahahahahaha Sweeney!

I don't see Bettman being friendly to LA on this tbh

 

[26CornerBlitz]

hahahahahaha Sweeney!

It's both he and Cam Neely in tandem that are making these "great" moves.

hahahahahaha Sweeney!

There's a small part of me that feels bad for Bruins fans.

A very, very, very small part.


Or maybe it's gas.

Boston acquires Rinaldo for a 3rd in 2017? What in the world...

 

[Paxon]

Don't hide behind semantics, it's clear that the violation of contract isn't spurring the release

I'm not hiding behind anything. I said that myself. It is in fact my entire point that they are not taking some moral stand over the violation of contracts but are using their ability to terminate contracts that are violated at their discretion.

Do they both have CTE or what

You used the words "inherently wrong" which is as big of a dodge as you can possibly take

Would Sweeney give Pastrnak for Weber and M.Subban for P.Kaleta's rights?

 

[Myllz]

hahahahahaha Sweeney!

I love Boston so much right now.

And I'm arguing semantics... yeesh. I don't know what you imagine I am "dodging" since everything I said reduces to the same thing over and over.

Completely forgot about the recapture. Of course, if Richards had been bought out, there'd be no recapture.

So, looks like a cap penalty of $1.32M per season over the next 5 years.

Philadelphia, however, is not subject to any recapture penalties as they traded Richards prior to the signing of the current CBA.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Down Goes Brown is funny.

 

[Ralonzo]

I was wondering who was going to take moron penalties for the B's now Lucic is gone.

 

[Gras]

Made my day

 

[Moskau]

Give you a guess what team talked to Kaleta.

 

[slip]

Give you a guess what team talked to Kaleta.

I'm guessing Bruins, while wondering why in the heck we didn't get a 2019 4th rounder off them for exclusive rights?

 

[Hipcheck13]

Could you imagine the reactions if Tim Murray did this?

After seeing the moves Neely has made Sweeney make I believe that rumor that BOS offered two 2nds for Chris Stewart before trading for Connolly to be true.

The Kings did not say why Richards is in violation of the deal, though several sources told ESPN.com it involves an off-the-ice incident.

Several sources told ESPN.com the Kings were made aware of the situation Friday, approximately an hour after the first round of the 2015 NHL draft had begun.

The team was already in the process of trying to trade him -- discussions were in place with both the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames -- but Kings general manager Dean Lombardi immediately informed both teams upon learning about the situation that he had no prior knowledge of the incident and halted those talks, according to a source.
