No wonder the ELC got rejected.
March 1LMAO. Before I clicked, I would have guessed that it wasn't allowed to be kicked to next season. When does that roll over? I'm assuming TDL?
Why is it never about the competency of the agent that had their client sign an invalid contract?I mean it's a minor mistake but might be an indication of the competency of management
So the last two times a team submitted a contract and they were denied, the NHL then penalized the team (NJD-Kovalchuk and TOR-Frogren) ***Self fact-check: NHL more recently rejected a SEA-Grubauer contract and didn't penalize them
Personally, I think it's stupid; Central Registry is specifically there to review contracts and say 'yes' or 'no', so to say, "no, and f*** you for making us do our job, here's your fine" is pretty dumb BUT I'm curious, with that understanding, if Calgary will be fined for this
There is a post a few before yours that addresses thatWhy is it never about the competency of the agent that had their client sign an invalid contract?
Teams must be lining up for your services, tell us more about this basic spreadsheet you've got going.You would have thought you could put the contract info into a fairly basic spreadsheet and it would tell you if it complied with the rules.
Pretty easy to set one up. Would take maybe 15 minutes, depending on the rule checks it has. It could then automatically display whether the contract is acceptable or not acceptable, and could have individual rule checks as well to show which one it doesn't fulfill.Teams must be lining up for your services, tell us more about this basic spreadsheet you've got going.
Well entering his date of birth and date of the contract would have avoided this cock up.Teams must be lining up for your services, tell us more about this basic spreadsheet you've got going.
Agent. Teams prefer the under 24 rulesSeems like a management and agent failure
The agent doesn’t submit the contract to the league.Agent. Teams prefer the under 24 rules
and these are just the cases we hear about, I'm not naïve enough to think we even hear about half the rejected contracts.Mikkel Boedker had to sign a revised deal with the Sharks
So remember when we said Mikkel Boedker signed a four year deal with the Sharks worth $16 million dollars over four years? Well, that’s still technically true, but some cap shenanigans have now…www.fearthefin.com
League also rejected the Sharks original contract with Mikkel Boedker due to the 35% variance rule that most people (including myself and apparently his agent+SJ) didn't know existed. Over the life of the contract, the year to year amount can't vary by more than 35% of the highest salaried year.
Boedker's original deal was 4 years for 16 million at 5 mil - 5 mil - 3 mil - 3 mil. The contract could only vary by 1.75 million (35% of 5 million), so the year 2 to 3 gap was more than was permitted. They redid the deal to be 5.2 mil - 4.8 mil - 3 mil - 3 mil. 35% of 5.2 mil allowed for a change of up to 1.82 million.
