but levi still has potential

poor jared

 

[What the Faulk]

Chris Terry gets a significant (percentage wise) raise and they walk from Nash? I don't get the reasoning here.

Not that I really care about either player.

Assuming Nash isn't replaced, Terry just made the team.

jared "steve" staal

 

[Oogie Boogie]

buuhhhhbyeee

 

[GoldiFox]

I can't wrap my head around paying Terry $1 million on a one-way deal and then letting Nash walk.

 

[DougieSmash]

EStaal, JStaal, Rask, Lindholm, McClement and eventually Ryan and Wallmark down the middle. There's no room for Nash.

 

[NotOpie]

Can Nash not still be qualified? I seem to remember some last minute contracts last year or the year before. Bueller? Anybody?

 

[Ole Gil]

Section328 posted a couple things about avoiding arbitration. So maybe they don't qualify, then still try to sign him? Or maybe just don't want him no mores.

 

[GoldiFox]

I would think Sweeney would give up at least a couple 1sts for him.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

There was a time when I thought Nemisz might amount to something.

 

[Cane mutiny]

I don't understand why they would not have tried to trade Nash at the deadline, if they had no intention of making him an offer. They wouldn't have gotten much, probably, but better than just letting him go for nothing. no?

They did that with Carson in '10 and Tlusty in '11. Both ended up signing for league minimum.

He's been good for the Checkers...he's just hurt pretty much all of the time.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

but levi still has potential

Didn't we have a poster who was constantly defending him even when it became clear to everyone else he had no Nhl future?


I want to say they even played the race card...

When you sign an RFA don't you have to increase their salary by a certain percentage of their previous salary? I assume that's why Terry got a raise. Saw this recently but can't remember where.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

i hope we re-sign nash.

but seeing as francis is the reason that nash came to carolina in the first place, this could be a sign of a refreshing departure from the "jr always get his man" gming we have had over the last 10 years. even if i dont agree with the move, the fact that hed be willing to do it is nice.

 

[What the Faulk]

^^IIRC it's 110%, so his qualifying offer would have been about 575k. He's making 875k instead. Terry didn't have to accept the QO, though I don't see why he wouldn't have. Or at least they could have hammered out a one-way for 575k. I just don't see why it's +300k and a one-way. Yeah, it's nitpicking, but weren't the terms on the Sekera deal off by about 500k (granted, that's per year)? These little bits here and there add up.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Terry was an impending Group VI UFA due to being 25+ with with 4+ professional seasons and fewer than 80 NHL games played. He got a one-way at that price likely because they were afraid of him signing elsewhere.

 

[What the Faulk]

I don't see why they should be worried about that. What makes him different than Zach Boychuk?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

well he is following fewer people on twitter

 

[Anton Babchuk]

he played for plymouth
