This appears because he played for the Islanders before. Same as Luongo and Chara

As far as I am concerned they can waive Frattin too. Hell I would give a team Frattin to take that chump off our books.
Not true. I said that I would give up Frattin to get rid of Connolly. I was overstating my point of course. (...)
I agree with the majority of your post but you don't build a team by judging the pieces on an individual basis . One of the problems we've had is the players don't fit well as a group . Overall we're small and soft and sometimes a skilled player like TC will lose his spot to a lesser skilled player because he brings more than just offense .
TC's main problem is he needs big grinding wingers to be effective in all 3 zones . He's a smart/skilled player but he's soft and he'll never team well with another soft player like Kessel and since PK isn't going anywhere that bumps him off the first line . (...)
He's only making 3.850 this year in actually money, though. Leafs can eat some of that (lets say 0.850) and the team who takes him only has to pay him 3M. That's still high, but certainly reasonable.
I looked at NHLNumbers.com and his salary is listed for 4.0. How is it pro-rated for a shorter schedule? I really want to know how to do this for myself. http://stats.nhlnumbers.com/teams/TOR?year=2013
Almost every posting I see around here is listing a different number for the salary another team would need to pay to Tim.
someone just misheard apparently.
He heard on a fan590 update mention of Connolly and NYI claiming Aucoin in the sports update.
You'll have to admit that the initial post was quite unclear as to what you meant.
People aren't mind readers, you know.
The best way to avoid misunderstandings is to make sure that what you actually wrote is what you meant to convey as a message.
tsn 1050 is saying Connolly to the Isles.
They are really stupid then.
They could have gotten T.O to eat some cap space while giving us a 7th round pick.
Tin man Tim is an islander.
