Saying we got something for nothing is a bit premature
Gonchar is going to go to the KHL and we are likely not getting the conditional pick
What happens if Gonchar re-signs on June 31st?
C'mon Main, you know better.How is this allowed ? The trade deadline has passed.
That would be rather strange considering there is only 30 days in June...
C'mon Main, you know better.
Trades can be made as long as no one plays on the active roster.
I'm 99% sure Boston could theoretically acquire Sidney Crosby from the Pens right now, but he wouldn't be allowed to play.
In b4 Danishh spectacularly comes in with a great response clearly outlining the CBA conditions.
Have you ever watched the NHL Draft? Plenty of trades occur at the draft, which is usually 4 or 5 days before free agency.I seriously did not know that - my understanding was after the trade deadline no trades of any sort are made until July 1st. The playoffs are going on - the NHL should not allow these types of side-bar news taking the headlines on TSN.
Enjoy the draft pick, Sens fans, because I'm guessing GM Nill has plans for Gonchar on the Stars blueline next season.
Sure, he's no Zubov, but he matched our top point-getter (Goligoski) last season so there's still some fight left in him, which is good to see.
Solid deal!

And how is this news going to disrupt any of the focus on Pittsburgh - Boston tonight? It won't. I can guarantee you that TSN's main headline at 11pm will have to do with the game tonight rather than the Gonchar signing.
The reason why the condition on him re-signing doesn't make sense is that what happens if it's July 1st (not start of FA this year) and Gonchar signs.
Draft has already passed.
I'm 100% sure the condition can't be that due to the fact that it is a 2013 pick and not a 2014. If it was a 2013 pick, Dallas would just wait until after the draft to finalize the deal and not give up a pick.

Well what is the point of having a trade deadline then ?!?!?! God this is confusing.

Too bad, i thought Gonchar could have contributed on the team next season. I worry about the point on the powerplay, Karlsson, Weridcock . . . phillips and ?

Could the condition(s) be that it turns into a 2014 pick if he is signed after the draft, and nothing or at the very least something worse if not signed at all?
