News Article: All-Purpose Evander Kane Discussion Pt III: Kane signs w/Oilers. Retroactive settlement no cap penalty

[Saskatoon]

To put the settlement money somewhere that wouldn't affect the team moving forward. It's just sorting the numbers out mostly.

It matters for league revenue and escrow

 

[STL Shark]

From a mathematical point of view, there is no difference between time running forwards or backwards. As long as the scales are balanced somehow, there's no reason why you can't balance them in the past, rather than the future.

You just basically explained my life as an accountant.

 

[Gecklund]

Bill and Gary are incapable of making public statements without being condescending

"The league is OBVIOUSLY comfortable with the terms of the settlement"

These guys are suck jackoffs, imagine being less likable than Roger Goodell

I mean I get your point but like what is he supposed to say? Like that’s kind of a dumb question. It’s like you get offered a new job and you accept it and someone asks “did you like the job offer” like obviously I did otherwise I wouldn’t have accepted it!

It's not the content of his speech, it's the tone

The NHL is coming off years of controversy after controversy and there is a crisis of confidence surrounding their leadership, it would behoove them to demonstrate a sliver of humility in their public statements but I suspect they don't know how because every word that comes out of their mouths is dripping with contempt for their fans

Oh I genuinely didn’t watch it and didn’t realize there was a video

How can the scales be real when our eyes aren't real

They should've gone all in and ended it with "Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!"

 

[sharski]

Ok finally the Kane saga is over. Let’s move on

Always two there are, no more, no less

A master and an apprentice

Escrow, but not Revenue.

True but that was going to happen regardless of how they decided to arrange the settlement payout.

 

[landshark]

I wonder if that newly acquired dough is gonna go to pay his debtors directly. Or, does he get to Scrooge McDuck it first? 2.5 million in hundos is 25K pieces of paper. I'm having trouble picturing it.

When he's done swimming around in it and making his money-phone calls, they should put the money into one of those money grab windtunnel things, and the debtors each get an amount of time in there commensurate with the amount owed or something.

Let me guess, you watched The Matrix recently?

I respectfully decline to answer the question on the grounds that it would incriminate me as an even bigger nerd than the question presupposes.

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Holy f***ing shit, huge W

IT'S OVER!

Finally!

Watching this board freak out over it will be glorious.

Just an added side benefit!


Great, now we can fully move on and focus on the impact of this year's changes...time for another era of Shorks Hockey!!

 

[matt trick]

Moving $12M off the cap for three years- albeit for two of our top 5/6 players is probably a pretty good thing for the franchise direction. That no cap hit is going to be key for retaining Meier.

 

[Mrs Ski]

Glad "He who shall not be named" is no longer the Sharks problem.

Good luck Oilers..your going to need it.

 

[fasterthanlight]

I mean... It's not quite the kings scenario. We literally lost our best player (on ice) from the year prio for less than nothing.

Did the Main Boards Thread on this subject get Nuked? If so that's hilarious.

Nope. Still on the first page.

It's really not news for anyone except Sharks fans.

Facts well that and oilers fans
