WHat? Zaitsev signed in KHL

Mikheyev has a NTC, not a NMC. He cannot block going on waivers and any team claiming him.

The union didn’t protest it happening to Barclay Goodrow, either. Or Todd Marchant back in the day, either.

There was no accompanying trade to go with the waiver claim, though. The Rangers can just say he made yo much money, so they waived him. The Sharks say he's a good player, we wanted him. If there was a trade that went along with it that said "we are doing this in bad faith to circumvent a clause negotiated into a contract", it would be pretty obvious to prove intent.

Yes, that's why it was allowed. This trade with a 2nd going in an "unrelated" trade would get ripped apart by the union

It was a no brainer he would waive, especially with the team being the Hawks lol

Great trade by Vancouver to clear up some space

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Apparently another team had entered an offer similar to Chicago (tad better), Van management was pretty much like pick where you want to go Ilya lol this is getting wild

Mikheyev's agent confirming he's going to Chicago.

Not a bad move to move that atrocity of a contract.

Now ready for the atrocious overpayment of Guentzel and or Zadorov

Canucks trade Mikheyev, Lafferty to Blackhawks

By Mark Lazerus, Scott Powers and Chris Johnston The last time the Blackhawks coaxed a second-round pick out of the Vancouver Canucks to take on a supposedly bad contract, they landed Jason Dickinson, who quickly emerged as one of their best players and just had a Selke Trophy-caliber second...

Adding Guentzel to that top six...

Guentzel-Miller-Boeser would be a f***ing insane line.

 

[jfhabs]

Not bad for both teams . Vancouver trades cap for very little assets and Chicago gets ok Vets they can flip again at the deadline.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Jake Guentzel! YOU are a Vancouver Canuck.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Adding Guentzel to that top six...

Guentzel-Miller-Boeser would be a f***ing insane line.

If Carolina doesn't finish the job. That can still happen. Canes can be quite picky about veteran contracts, to the annoyance of many of us Canes fans, but all of the speculation is pointing to Carolina willing to use the 8th year.

You just can't help yourself can you?
If that's an atrocious contract wtf are nurses and Browns?

While fun, Jake and ep40 need to play together

 

[gach]

teams want the draft pick

Also Hawks have to get to the cap floor

please tell me what you think a “realistic” overpayment for jake and zado is?

Cheers

 

[themelkman]

Odds that Friedman reveals the other team at 9 am tomorrow on his podcast and it launches a 20 minute discussion?

 

[gach]

That's what I'm saying.

If the Vancouver gives the second and Lafferty for a 4th, then Chicago turns around and doesn't claim Michayev. Vancouver gets screwed.

Right on

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

He does have a NTC

Which does not stop him being put on waivers...
