Friedman: Arvidsson and Henrique have previously unreported NMC's, will make moves more difficult for EDM

[VivaLasVegas]

Not it wasn't. Ottawa failing to inform Vegas of who was on his LNTC screwed Vegas out of a trade. The punishment was more than fair.

And the Ducks out of a trade.

 

[Reality Czech]

I don't understand why so many NHL teams hand out NTCs and NMCs to unremarkable players.

Because the players demand them? If you've got 5 teams all offering similar years and salary, then the player is more likely to sign a deal with the team that includes an NTC/NMC

Vegas management was also idiots, they didn’t even figure it out in the year and half they had Dadanov, , all they had to do was read capfriendly.

A year and a half, Vegas management we’re also useless dummies like Ottawa, it was sitting right there in black and white.

It NHL is to blame also with no database.

Any club should be able to get the basic info on a player's contract from the registry, be it dates of payment of signing bonuses, trade protection status, number of clubs he can be dealt to, etc.

I agree with you, too bad the registry doesn’t keep that information.

Cool. Cool. coolcoolcool. So who did we outbid for Jeff Skinner, bought out by Buffalo, and Viktor Ardvisson, coming off a major back injury?

If you have to give a NMC to a 3rd liner to get him, you should just be okay with not getting him.

Players like Arvidsson are traded at every deadline for a 2nd or 3rd.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Inexcusable, eh? I have dealt with a few people for whom it's always somebody else's fault. So, "Why did not anybody stop me from doing this?" is an excuse I have heard before. In both cases the responsibility rested with Ottawa's (Melnyk's) front office, and in both cases they have failed to conduct honest business. But of course, by all means, let's be mad at the NHL.

Now address the 2 points , since you skipped over them,

I won't disagree with that

 

[Shark Finn]

f*** there goes another Sens 1st round draft pick!!

 

[SpezDispenser]

Are the teams that traded them to the Oilers going to get a 1st round pick taken away?

I'd settle for no action taken and the Sens absolved of responsibility on the Dadanov tomf***ery personally

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

How in the everloving f*** do you not find out about this stuff beforehand? JFC. Do these front office people seriously just go to Google and type "Does X have NMC?" and just go with that? "PuckPedia says that he does not have one, so that's cool, let's just leave it at that!". If there is no league wide database, just ask the other god damn team and draft a deal that makes the complicit if they lie about it. It seriously can't be that difficult?

 

[McJedi]

A lot of ink and words being wasted on an unremarkable and poorly playoff configured Oilers team that will be knocked out in round 1 of this year’s playoffs.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

They got to game 7 of the finals and added a 40 goal scorer in Skinner. Do you think they'll even trail in a game before the SCF?

Bouchard is quite literally the best performing defenseman in the history of the advanced stats era.

They don't need to add anything.

Wait...are you NOTENGOUGHBREWER? I literally just made that connection and I feel like a total moron.

Same thing as tipping the fry cook at the Burger King.

How to ruin two top three players in the world, a master class of incompetence, co authored by Ken, Pete, and Stan.

What a hilarious disaster.

At this point we should give McDavid and Drai to a contender for free so that they can win a cup.
