Could see the Oilers doing this with him as part of a deal for Gavrikov, with our 1st and JP heading back as part of it.

would love Tampa to jump on this just to make people mad

If Nyquist is able to return that soon there’s a risk the team couldn’t stash him until the playoffs.
Also, Toronto didn’t acquire Nash to increase their LTIR space. That’s a misunderstanding of how LTIR works,

i hope the league watches this closely. none of these tampa bay shenanigans.
Yes, they did, without that they couldn't have added Foligno, or any of the other pieces they did.

They did nothing regarding Kucherov back then.... So that ship has sailed. I´m more suprised that not more teams make use of this. It´s fair game after the league turned blind on Tampa.

They didn't do anything when Chicago did it with Kane.

..or when Hossa suddenly got an allergy....
The league is full of such gong-shows.. Everyone knows it, the league knows it...But everyone pretends they know nothing....
I don't understand why people have such a problem with what Tampa did, It's not like It's something only Tampa does or is allowed to do.
Chicago did with Kane
Toronto is doing it right now Muzzin, and previously with Horton and Clarkson
Boston,and later Florida with Savard.
Arizona with Pronger and Dats.
Chicago with Hossa, after Hossa actual NHL salary went from 4 million to 1 million magically became allergic to his own sweat, a condition that was never mentioned during his 20 year career but the year he takes a 75% pay cut he's now magically allergic to his own sweat, that was hilarious they didn't even try there.
Zetterberg went from playing nearly every game, If not every game to having to take a 50% pay cut and now his back is hurt.
Point is this isn't a Tampa thing.
If they had any draft capital I could see it, but them increasing their LTIR space is pointless because they don't have the draft capital to take advantage
They were looking for a 2nd before, and they can still get one, it will just be heavily conditioned on games played in the playoffs. You won't mind that price if Nyquist is playing in 3 or 4 playoff rounds for you.

His best run in the playoffs was five years ago with the Sharks he had 1 goal in 20 games. He's a ghost come playoff time. Why would anyone give up anything more than a late round pick for this guy, let around a 2nd or 3rd?

Dolan sucks!!!
Conditional pick based on how many games the player plays in the playoffs and how many rounds the team wins.

We know this. The NHL know that we know. But we make-believe that we don't know and the NHL make-believe that they believe that we don't know, but know that we know. Everybody knows..or when Hossa suddenly got an allergy....
Yes because nobody wants a 3rd line forward that should be in your top 6 except every cup winner since about 2002 if not before

those are different methods of cap circumvention. the league already did some rule changes with retirement contracts.
