just to open this can of worms... since I sincerely doubt Blacker would be the tipping point in any trade for Stastny, would much rather send them Finn or Percy for that very reason.

here.. this might clean it up for ya..

'To the surprise of no one, the Flyers have bought out Ilya Bryzgalov. From what I've been hearing today, it looks like Philly may have a plan underway to acquire Roberto Luongo -- not by trade.


More to come...'

Waiver pickup?



Honestly though, why not put him on waivers before a compliance buyout. worth a shot...

(or do they HAVE to?... hmm... ya I think they do actually...)

Let's try to seriously figure that out.

The only way they could "acquire" Luongo without trading for him is by Vancouver buying him out...I just don't know that they'll do that. Gillis should be fired if they end up doing that. He had offers for Luongo and got greedy, only to end up buying him out?

Would have to be a waiver pickup.

Gillis: Scrivens and a 2nd?

Nonis: pass

can't imagine how good the offers were. Certainly any offers required Canucks to retain salary, which they can't afford to do.

Damn, I remember one where Grabo and his bad contract was involved...Gillis should be fired unless he pulls some magic rabbit out his ass...

that was the best!!!

what was it...3 or 4 calls in the afternoon to Nonis and he kept saying no.

HAHAAH i wish i could hear all of it on a recording just for a good lil chuckle

on another note: i caught 34 smallies on sunday

philly still gets full term/money through waivers, no?

would have to be buyout. but i'm not sure how philly could think they have inside track on lou post buyout. there's a whole lot of other teams interested in lou as a free agent.

If they take him off waivers, yup, they essentially get Luongo for "free" and take on his full contract. Unless he retires early in which case I think the cap hit goes back to the Canucks. Yes/no?

I think they both get (frank)ed a bit with it actually

The “cap benefit recapture” formula
Allows teams to: Be penalized for contracts that effectively circumvent the salary cap when players retire early.

The specifics: The NHL went hard after what it calls long-term, back-diving contracts that became plentiful in the last collective agreement, and this rule will mean teams pay a price for having signed those that go beyond six years in length. (One example could well be Luongo, who at 33, still has 10 years left on a deal he will not likely complete. If he doesn’t, then the CBR formula will put a charge on the Canucks salary cap after he retires. This will also apply to any team that might trade for him, which potentially makes moving the veteran more difficult.)
