Guess there’s not going to be another game for Milos

There seems to be a LOT of mutual contract terminations this year. In the past it seemed liked a player had to break international law for a team to void a contract.

Weird as the team already loaned him to the Czech league. Not sure why all of a sudden he felt the need to get out of his contract

Was thinking the same thing- it’s 2025 bro, ain’t nobody happy and we can’t stand each other! I’m kinda kidding, but is that not the general vibe in, like, everything? Just dunno if that applies to players gettin mad at their clubs.

Thinking maybe 32 teams is too much. You can't fill so many teams with NHL level talent, so you have to take chances with players you normally wouldn't. Then keep retrying until you find a decent body.

it's not Kelemin at least the thread title could be ok

Kelemen will play at the Worlds for Slovakia and try to cement his place for the Olympic Team in 2026.

There were 13 last year.

They will be at 8 after the 2 from today.

Must be a recency bias thing. Although it definitely has been a growing trend.

Actually slightly higher with 12 since July 1 this year
Evgeny Kuznetsov, Pavel Novak, Lukas Svejkovsky, Ilya Nikolaev, Daniil Chayka, Brendan Lemieux, Valterri Pulli, Henri Nikkanen, Tyler Johnson, Daniel Torgersson, Milos Kelemen, Marcus Sylvegard
Plus Ryan Johansen, non-mutually.

We're pacing with the past few years, maybe even a little low...
I think there just might be slightly more exposure to it now


Here are the past ten years

Last year there were:
16 mutual terminations
7 non-mutual terminations

Two years ago: 17 mutual, 1 non-mutual

Three years ago: 26 mutual, 3 non-mutual, 1 grey-area

2020-21: 11 mutual, 1 non-mutual

2019-20: 22 mutual, 2 non-mutual

2018-19: 38 mutual (!), 1 non-mutual

2017-18: 17 mutual

2016-17: 10 mutual, 2 non-mutual

2015-16: 15 mutual, 1 non-mutual

2014-15: 17 mutual



If you go back further it does drop off
Idk if the 2013 lockout and CBA precipitated that??

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Another game for Milos!

No? I guess there's always tennis.

Wow. Those are some surprising numbers there. I never would have guessed the numbers would be that high. Thanks for the researching uncleben.

Yup. 24 hour news cycle.

30 years ago you’d have to read the fine print on page C11 of the Sports section to read about a random player’s contract termination. Now we all get an alert on our phones
