Holy shit

Yup

Classy move

Honestly, he's the kind of guy Pittsburgh should just bring in to see if they can get any kind of bottom line stability. Hell, bring back Kessel as well and see what Hagelin's up to.

Bottom line stability? It’s very stable. Doesn’t score. Doesn’t get scored on.

Wording in that tweet is weird.

If you don't report to AHL after being assigned, that's what happens, contract terminated.

Ranger didn't really honor anything

Sure they did.

There is a difference between mutual termination, which is what happened, vs termination for cause, which is what you are describing.

Maybe it doesn't make a difference to you but it probably does to Bonino, which is the whole point.

2 Stanley cups, Selke like during those cup runs with Pens. Solid career.

Pens desperately need scoring and I think Nick has a goal this year. His -12 would place him 21st on the team (out of 20 players).

Sounds like a good fit.

He's making league minimum, he's already been through waivers, and he isn't even on the roster while Chytil is out. I guess he had no interest in going to the AHL, which is understandable. He's made his money and had a very respectable career which included playing a crucial role on two cup winning teams.

Still wouldn't be surprised to see him be a late signing for a playoff team looking for depth and locker-room presence.

Happy Retirement!

If a player tells you he isn't going to the AHL and asks to let him go, that's clearly mutual agreement...

The only honor I guess is sounds like NYR gave him a couple extra days to think things over

Incorrect. They could have just suspended him without pay.

Guess he feels he can find a spot somewhere else. Could have had worst situation that going home to end career in Hartford his place of birth.

Wishing all the best in his NHL retirement, legend....

Why wouldn't they have just claimed him then?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Well, at least we'll always have that goal call.

Time remains undefeated.
