I doubt Chevy finds that very reasonable

Really?? I bet he is all over that like Buff eating a Chinese Dinner For Five!

reasonable to acquire.

Gunner and Kulie for Buff and Clitsome

Like I said, if Buff can be had for a reasonable price, he IS the 1B Dman we are looking for, even if he is 395.

Winnipeg would be saving a fortune on team meals. And they wouldn't have to pay for two seats on the plane anymore.

Who even knows what it costs to make a jersey in XXXXL... Some poor kid in Bangladesh probably lost his life making his equipment.

NHL has notified GMs that league will not allow player to be traded, amnestied and then re-signed by original club, Post has learned.

Guess Lecavalier's not coming back if they dump him.

Must have been talked about (not specifically Lecavalier) if they are issuing notifications clarifying the situation.

I love how they've decided that something not addressed in the CBA is not allowed. Just making it up as they go.

I guess it's better than allowing a bunch of retirement deals, then suddenly deciding to draw the line at Kovalchuk's. Then arbitrarily deciding to punish New Jersey for doing what everyone else does.

Maybe Nonis was planning on taking on Vinny and the 3rd Pick

Yeah, I think they basically reserved a right to veto anything crafty the GMs come up with; probably just as well, keep them from Bryzgalov'ing themselves in the foot.

Are rebuilding or going for the playoffs?

Haven't had a chance to dig into this, figured you kids would know, but with the amnesty buy-out this year, the player becomes a free agent and their current contract is null/void? Or is the team on the hook for the salary, but no cap penalty?

Ah, but Lecavalier could be signed and traded back to Tampa.

ok and next year with "real" buy-outs? Half cap?

Ah, but Lecavalier could be signed and traded back to Tampa.

What does that solve?

I thought the point was that we'd eat the money that TB can't afford.

The team that buys the player out pays two thirds of the remaining salary (the real dollars owed) over a period twice as long as the years remaining.

There are absolutely zero cap implications. The player becomes a free agent as if he has no deal in place whatsoever. A blank slate.

Vinnie would certainly be signed to a more reasonable/manageable contract (for TB).

What is Vinnie's value today?

This could save TB $3M+ in cap space for the next 6/7 years.

can't resign a buyout player

Me Too, keep him and the pick, Tampa gets #21 and Colbourne
