So...you've found some loophole to protect more forwards? Cause I guess we are morons for missing it...
- Foligno
- Dubinsky
- Saad
- Atkinson
- Wennberg
- Jenner
- Anderson or Karlsson (dependent on Hartnell waiving no trade)
Let's see.
1. There was an article a couple of weeks back discussing on TSN in which there was discussion on how the NHL wanted all the side deals that the teams made with the our new entry in the league be formally registered with the league. You know the type that involve compensation for not drafting players.
2. Oh I don't know maybe we trade one of the players on the list. Not necessarily to keep us losing Karlsson but to either help the team or deal with potential cap difficulties. Perhaps Kalrsson is the guy, although i see that being unlikely.
3. From what I understand all teams have to expose 25% of the salary from the previous years payroll. I haven't looked to see if we can address part of that with Clarkson. You might see higher payroll player(s) exposed, ones you wouldn't expect.
4. Vegas will only take 1 player from each team (has to), we're assuming that we can read minds and figure out which player that is.
5. I wasn't calling the posters here morons, I indicated the front office would be. All I've accused people of here thinking in black and white. We have a long way to go until the expansion draft and lot of things can happen between now and then. The way that people around here present this kind of remind me of Wrath of Khan and his two dimensional thinking. That is not intended as an insult. We just make the list based on how things are right now and we jump to conclusions.
