You really think this isn't an issue? How about this team's policy of calling up players after 5:00pm so they don't have to pay them a full days NHL salary, is that a non-issue too? If Chlapik felt stiff/sore, pretty sure it would be rather irresponsible of him to inform the team at 1:00pm.
Everything this org does lately reeks of $$ issues.
OK, Maybe I am reading way to much into it.
You think Ottawa's the only team to wait till 5pm to make a transaction? I bet you can find an example of every team in the league doing the same thing. You'll never see me defend Melnyk but theses $$$ issues are being completely overblown. You had people suggesting Dido was traded for Dumont but they did it through waivers because TB had to pay OTT $38,000 more to claim Dido than Ottawa had to pay TB to claim Dumont. Then yesterday you had the claims that certain players were called up when because they had lesser salaries. It's completely out of hand.
