Thank you hockey gods.

 

[Micklebot]

Wow, not that it will do much but I guess JBD is here to stay and Zub is good to go?

Zub isn't even travelling with the team on the current road trip.

When did that change... They were talking about how he'd be on the road trip just yesterday I thought.

That means Holden is back in the lineup and we don't have a 7th d?

Bruce tweeted it earlier.

No the GM is just stepping in and doing what he should have done a long time ago. Take the choice away from the coach.

Maybe it just means Holden is good to go

It better because the alternative is ice 5 d...

 

[DaveMatthew]

Good. Take the option away.

 

[StoicSensFan]

5 D without Zaitsev > 6 D with Zaitsev

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Pretty much the only 7+ year term deal signed off an ELC that went bad. Technically Matheson's did as well but he seemingly recovered.

Edit: my bad thought this was the main board, i come in peace

 

[DaveMatthew]

It better because the alternative is ice 5 d...

Even if he's not I'd rather call up Heatherington than ice Zaitsev.

There's too much negativity to have him in the lineup anymore.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Waived to the sun?

 

[bert]

If he decides he doesnt want to play in Bellville and goes to the KHL are the sens on the hook for the salary and cap hit?

 

[h2]

Nice! We might actually win a game now!

 

[Emerica]

Ain’t nobody claiming that contract but at least we can bury him in the AHL.

What happens if he doesn’t report to Belleville? Can we terminate his contract and get cap relief?

 

[BUCKLE UP]

DJ on waivers next pls

 

[bicboi64]

I pray to the hockey gods that another team scoops him up. Don't risk him coming back.

I wish Zaitsev nothing but the best, but its not his fault DJ thinks he's an amazing option to go to whenever anything goes wrong.

I think his contract would be voided?

Doubt it happens though. Don't think he'll get 7M USD over the next two years in Russia given what's happening over there,

True

Will be hilarious if they win immediately after. Or sad I am not sure.

 

[NyQuil]

A shame that this move wasn't made earlier - pretty much all good will towards him has eroded away.

 

[OmniSens]

There is an Alfie!

You sure? Last I heard (two days ago?) he was traveling with the team.

Given that Reilly is on waivers, I wonder if a flip with the money staying the same would make sense?

Get Reilly away from this team once was enough. Now that were rid of Zaitsev its going to get alot better.
