But Horton arrived with a preexisting condition — a chronically separated shoulder that could not be covered by insurance — and the Blue Jackets knew he would miss at least half of the season rehabilitating. The 41-game mark is the point at which most insurance policies kick in.

The club opted not to buy insurance for the rest of Horton’s body that season because it would have been impossible for another injury or illness to cost him half of the season. In other words, he would have crossed that threshold because of the shoulder.

It was risk, but only if Horton developed another major injury. This past summer, Horton’s back flared to the point of incapacitating him, and insurance became unattainable, meaning the Blue Jackets would be on the hook for all of the remaining salary in his contract.

....for his stash or lack there of.

If Bettman could ever admit he was wrong, NB would accept the team with open arms.

The Citylawyer was hired by the Coyotes after the deal was negotiated. Arizona law is clear that governments can void contracts if an employee who was substantively involved in negotiations is hired by the company he was negotiating with. I'm Not sure if there is a question of how involved he was but as City Attorney, I'd have to think pretty involved.

This may get drawn out and Courts are weird down there but it looks like the City might have a leg to stand on.

got it. interesting.

looks like he was on severance prior to the meat of the negotiations taking place, but seems like he must have been involved at some level.

here comes the court battle.
