Even though Jonathan has never said it in interviews, he does not want to be part of the rebuild in Calgary.

lol I bet he is. Good luck fitting that cap hit on a contending team

 

[HockeyVirus]

lol

 

[BonMorrison]

Where does it say he's open to waiving? All I see is a statement saying he needs to be good again to re-establish trade value, wow big shock.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Good luck with that

 

[TD Charlie]

Is Calgary waiving half his salary too?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

 

[KevinRedkey]

I too want to get paid his salary and be a part of a contending team. Unfortunately, we both live in a reality where it won't happen.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Maximum 50% retention puts him on a 7x$5.25M contract? I doubt there is any team in the NHL which takes even that for free?

 

[Three On Zero]

Is he also going to mutually terminate his contract?

 

[Larry Hanson]

Barring a major bounce back season I can't see this happening.

Highly unlikely the Flames will retain anything for 7 years, I could see them taking back a bad contract with less term but where is the fit?

at least you put it as speculation and not a rumour. That website based their idea on what the player need to do to re-establish himself to create a market and that would encourage him to waive his no trade clause

Uh some teams would. 5M isnt much these days.

 

[villacco]

Even at 30 % he is untradeable.
50 %? Now we talking

Probably should've lead with that in the OP

But also "according to rumors."

I can totally see him going to a contending team and putting up big numbers again. I can also totally see no contending team being willing to take on that contract--due to its length--without serious retention.

The Flames are in the Pacific Division. Every team in that division has a shot at making the playoffs.

No contender can absorb that contract without giving spare parts back. It would be a Hunerdeau for junk trade

 

[VanillaCoke]

Atleast four million retained and maybe

 

[BleedBlue14]

Wonder if a Florida reunion with heavy retention is in the cards in a couple years after Bobs/Knights contract is off the books

 

[Garbageyuk]

Lmao

 

[Mike Jones]

The contract, itself, ensures he's not going anywhere soon. Even if the Flames retain salary it's going to be tough.

Unless he requests that the contract be terminated so that he can move on and start over as a free agent.

Came to laugh.

Looks like I'm not the first.
