Read that as $1.5 million per at first and was really confused. Glad for the guy to get a decent payday as he’s a very hard worker.

The og. herd line should be in place now, and I would like to see Jeannot get a little time with a big boy line.

Wonder if he got 1-way on both years. Wouldn't surprise me if Poile wanted him 2-way on the first year. Would surprise me if he signed it that quickly if that was the case. I feel like he has earned a permanent spot.

I assume it's 1 way. The article doesn't have any more details oddly enough

In Hynes’ system, he’s a better depth option than Grimaldi.

One of the few guys in the last several years I have felt confident in when dropping the gloves. Fun fighting style too.

 

[Scoresberg]

According to CapFriendly, it’s a two-way contract.

Nice.

Which is why I’ve been calling for Rocco’s position to be upgraded. Love the guy, but don’t believe we need a $2M depth player and don’t think he fits in the top 9.

Getting more physical for sure.

Rocco for a pick?

Honestly think it would be doing him a favor. He's not going to get a second deal with no ice time and getting abused in his own zone.

We'd probably have to try Buffalo or Arizona or some team that is consciously self-imploding. But I guess they'll just say, hey, we'll take him for free when you waive him instead.

I guess that's the tough thing about moving him. Nobody is really going to see asset value in him due to his size. Which is too bad, because he is definitely a legit NHL player. I'd probably be willing to retain 50% and just give him to one of those teams for free, just to see him get another chance. If he stays here, I'm afraid he's going to get buried and then have to find his next contract in Europe, which isn't fair to him, he's a better player than that.

Maybe Edmonton would be interested in Rocco? They seem to like speedsters.

It is a shame. I like his hustle and competitiveness, but he's simply not built to forecheck defensemen into puddles of apple sauce in the corners.

Or wherever Lavi is coaching now... Washington?

He has same 750k salary for minors, so doesn't that mean it's one way?

You're right. They changed it's a one-way deal. But it's still says that Olivier is Waivers Exempt?

So it's kind of like one-way deal in terms of salary but in terms of movement it's a two-way deal?

"One-way" only means he gets the same salary regardless of whether he plays in the NHL or minors.

Some video game apparently conflated the two and confused a whole generation of people it seems, but waiver status is completely independent.

One or two contract just means whether the player gets same or different salary on NHL and AHL, while being waiver exempt is based on age, years since signing an NHL contract and games played.

He played hard and earned a spot and chance to repeat. He was asked to step up and he more than delivered.
