While it wasnt half as dirty as Brown's muderous boarding call it was still pretty bad.

Is Gorges out of intensive care yet?

...

that doesn't explain if he was offer sheeted, that only shows that the AV's don't need to pass him through waivers
- AdamFrench

if he was offer sheeted he would likely have to come up through the Avs organization prior to his rights being transferred to the new team

thats the catch I bet

Is Gorges out of intensive care yet?
- Leeman4Gilmour

i heard hes still on life support, hopefully he signed a DNR and an organ donor card

im not a flames fan but man oh man i would have felt awful for their team had the avs decided not to match and they just lost him, i mean they wouldnt have even been able to grab another jankowski....plus that would have made all the mike milbury and JFJ moves look like gold
- MetroidPrime

I honestly like Janikowski. I go to Providence College so I get to see him on a regular basis. Maybe not 1st round material, but solid prospect in my eyes. Going to see the (4) BC Eagles play (20) Providence College Friars tonight then driving down to FL for spring break. Catching a lightning jets game down there too on wednesday

So, who's right?

Elliot Friedman or TSN/Sportsnet/Mackenzie?
- Leeman4Gilmour

i am going to go out on a limb and say Feaster did his homework and knew what the rules were prior to giving the player the offer sheet

so Mackenzie is right.

but wouldnt it have been (frank)ing hilarious if calgary gave up the draft picks and then lost him to columbus on waivers? but i guess even feaster isnt THAT stupid...
- MetroidPrime

That would have happened had the Avs not matched.
Lucky for Gillis his offer sheet wasnt accepted.

Dumb GM's.

We can only wish. Nino is a big freaking kid, plenty of potential for him. That being said, I don't think we can throw our garbage at Garth and expect him to give us nino.
- Fatty-Patty

We didn't suffer enough watching Larry Murphy win a Stanley Cup - anywhere but Detroit.

if he was offer sheeted he would likely have to come up through the Avs organization prior to his rights being transferred to the new team

thats the catch I bet
- Dozzer

It seems like the catch is which team would have to do the waiver??

Did you watch it in slow motion or game speed? Looked like more than a tap to me, was cheap and dangerous.
- Leafland

i have no doubt it hurt and shook him up, but it's not like an elbow or flying on a guy full speed and leaving your feet, plus he was away from the boards. Fights and Icing races are more dangerous than that! but it was cheep

- AdamFrench

Don't like him?

Gillis had nothing to do with this

Garbage? It may not be a prime package we're offering, but they're getting something for this deal.

Komi goes home, they get a prospect(not a great one, might add, but nevertheless) and a 2nd round pick to smooth things over.

If Nino does want out, then he can be had for the right price

Don't like him?
- celata29

Not where he went., he was more of a 2nd round gamble, like Rocco Grimaldi.

Grabo sucks.

Gillis has something to do with everything bad and or controversial in the NHL, don't you know this?

i am going to go out on a limb and say Feaster did his homework and knew what the rules were prior to giving the player the offer sheet

so Mackenzie is right.
- Dozzer

Mackenzie is saying the opposite of what you think he's saying:
Cal would have had to put him on waivers
Col does not because he is their RFA

Not where he went., he was more of a 2nd round gamble, like Rocco Grimaldi.
- AdamFrench

Yeah that's what I inferred in my post. Not first round, but I like him in the mid to late second.

- Dozzer

He didn't.
Apparently if the player played in the KHL after the CBA was signed and played past a certain date in January, any team that would have picked up ROR via offer sheet would have had him pass through waivers.
Unless Feaster was doing the Avs a favour (which I doubt), the flames should fire him now.

Grabo sucks.
- jbold

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie

In other words, in this new CBA, team can sign one of its own RFAs or draft picks out of Europe in mid-season and get in lineup w/o waivers.
.



The Pope has spoken!!
- faceto27

The Pope certainly has, last I checked ROR wasn't one of Calgary's own RFAs. He also wasn't on Calgary's reserve list. The only way Calgary doesn't have to put him through waivers is that he would have to be on their reserve list, anyways, I still think its stupid that RFAs are even part of the rule. Encouraging players to stick to their hold outs without letting them sign elsewhere is a form of Collusion.

It seems like the catch is which team would have to do the waiver??
- JIMI-JAMES

once again

Feaster would of made sure he knew the rules before he did it

anyone suggesting otherwise is just trying to sound smart and make up a story when there isnt one.

Is Gorges out of intensive care yet?

poor babie had a booboo

- Dozzer

Perhaps.
Its rumoured that he put in offer sheet in for ROR....but it wasn't accepted.
