Lmao what a f***ing joke this franchise is

It blows my mind TDA agreed to this. Does he think he's getting more than 5 mil from another team this season, or does he just hate Torts so much he's willing to light 5 million dollars on fire never to have to look at his face again.

Edit: nvm, it's a buyout. That's obviously worse.

 

[BigToe]

Carolina signing him for cheap would be hilarious

Buyouts Outside of the Regular Period​

Clubs whom have 1 or more arbitration filings may be permitted to perform a buyout outside of the regular window. This gives teams another opportunity to become cap compliant following an arbitration case.

Clubs are permitted to perform a buyout outside the regular period during the 48 hour period beginning on the third day after the final of [CBA 13(c)ii]:

1. Settlement of the Club's final arbitration case, or
2. Receipt of the Club's last arbitration award

nice the weeks of thinking and i think i rather keep the 2 retention slots for possibly better solutions like atkinson/TK at the deadline or even walker

 

[Audible Velvet]

At least this joke finally got to the punch line. Laughing at (not from) or being appalled, either would be appropriate.

 

[Beef Invictus]

He's going to get bought out and signed for free rofl. Probably for real cheap for a year, too.

Truly masterful management.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

This franchise so f***ing stupid, should have stashed him in the minors and had all 5 million free next season, they just like shooting themselves in the foot, so many wasted opportunities by buying him out

 

[Flybynite]

If he's claimed is it still a 50% salary split off waivers? I wouldn't even care if that was the case since it's better than wasting a retention slot to get him to 50% and the return being a future ECHL bottom 6.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Maybe Briere got sick and tired of the dicking around and just said f*** it we need to move on.
I approve one thousand percent.

I was buckled up as suggested, however, I still hit the dashboard and then the airbag deployed.

That’s not how it works. They would pay him 4M to play in LHV. That’s a 4M cap hit. f*** that.

 

[iceman42]

Hopefully, he goes elsewhere, not the Canes, and the Canes lose out on EK.

What do you think they are planning for next season - to sign a high price free agent?

Yeah 1.6M cap hit next year is not the same value as holding another retention slot they could use at the TDL.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They’re pretty fortunate lighting money on fire isn’t an unusual position for DeAngelo. As most aren’t willingly walking away from $5M when odds are they’d be lucky to recoup half of that with a new contract.

Edit (I see the newer tweet stating a buyout): A buyout makes much more sense from DeAngelo’s perspective.

 

[Striiker]

Capfriendly, Meltzer, and COC, all deleted tweets saying it was mutual.

Hockey media is such dogshit

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Mannnnnnnnn, the Hurricanes look BAD for this happening.

Optics are not good for them.

EDIT: Remember when Charles Entertainment Fletcher turned down a 2nd round pick for this guy just a couple of months ago?

[SolidSnakeUS]

Glad he got dealt with regardless, but it does suck it wasn't an actual trade.

Just a what the f*** situation.

 

[Chinatown88]

Great trade Chuckles

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

SLURPPPPPPPPPPP

It was a failed trade. They tried to illegally push it through and then could no longer wait any longer due to their own limitations. That's a failure.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

SLURPPPPPPPPPPP

Seriously, at what point do they stop going lower? At what point do they go, hey, this whole situation sucks and the how we got here f***ing sucks? Because it feels like a never ending race to the bottom.

 

[wasup]

Well he is the player I wanted gone the most but good ole Tort's like's bashing players and absolutely tanking any trade value they might of had so this is what we get .

Just gonna wait for Dead to come on here and say Tort's is great it's not his fault and it's all on the player blah blah blah .
