That's the annoying part. If it was something like the middle of the season where it would possibly change how the cap fits in, I get it. But in this case, and given all the other stuff we've mentioned, it's pretty dumb. I suppose it'll probably get done when it's legal, but a lot can happen in a few weeks at this time of year.
You're just mad that your confirmed with link and name change were both premature.
and you know what else was probably premature....You're just mad that your confirmed with link and name change were both premature.
I was premature, not breathing, and thus a shade of blue when I came out. And look how I turned out!and you know what else was probably premature....
...his birth (don't worry, not your fault, and I was 9 weeks early too so I can make this joke!!!)
No no no, only teams that are allowed to draft #1 overall can do things like that

Tomorrow's Headline: "Canes forfeit 23 & 24 1st round picks for attempting cap circumvention"NHL Accuses Hurricanes and Flyers of Cap Circumvention in DeAngelo Trade
The NHL raises concerns over Tony DeAngelo’s possible return to the Carolina Hurricanes in a trade with the Flyers.
The Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers were said to have reached a tentative agreement involving defenseman Tony DeAngelo on Sunday, with Philadelphia retaining 50 percent of his remaining salary and cap hit for the upcoming season. However, complications arose and the trade never materialized.
As per a report by The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun on Monday,
it is believed the NHL raised concerns about DeAngelo returning to Carolina within a year of his previous trade from the Hurricanes. The league cited provisions in the CBA that address the potential circumvention of rules regarding players returning within a 12-month timeframe, particularly when salary retention is involved. Essentially, suggesting it could be considered salary cap circumvention, the trade was not permitted to go through.
“Further to @PierreVLeBrun on DeAngelo trade: CBA says if team A retains on a player, cannot re-acquire for 1 calendar year, except if he’s on a new contract. Also says, if team A trades a player, cannot re-acquire him in a retained trade (this situation) for a calendar year. In 2nd scenario, does not specifically state exception about a new contract. So debate: -The exception for a new contract is in 1st scenario but not 2nd. But scenarios are just the opposite, so shouldn’t new contract exception apply? -Is Calendar year 12 months or ‘22 vs ‘23.”
NHL Claims Hurricanes and Flyers of Circumventing Cap in DeAngelo Trade

League does that and you darn well know the Canes will go nuclear with their actual circumvention practices. I'm talking Jordan Staal on LTIR from training camp til the playoffs with injury after injury our docs are unable to clear him from. Max Pacioretty signs an extension and spends the year on LTIR until the playoffs start. Freddie Andersen needs surgery for some unknown ailment after extending that causes him to be on LTIR for the season with his return date right around the first week of the playoffs.
Aren't you describing Jordan Staal here? Yet you called that $2.9M signing "gross"?
If we’re going direct comparisons Laughton is younger, faster, plays a more aggressive style, and takes the puck to the net harder and more frequently. That’s the style we want if we’re going full Brindy. When I said what I said about Laughton it was under the assumption that Staal was getting signed and was going to be here. I’ve always assumed that. My idea of we should build the team that Rod wants always had Staal in it for this coming year.
