I've heard it in the media, when Kesler was sheeted and when Bernier was sheeted. You can't match and then trade. It's part of what makes the process so ugly for GMs.

Thats why teams hire lawyers to read that book....

If someone says something against the Leafs Ban them.

I thik you apply for arb and the arbitrator sets the dates
- VANTEL

I know they file for Arbitration but when? I think it's after a date later in July...which means the window is open for an offer sheet if he remains unsigned after July 1st. I know I debated this before....

Possible outcomes
If a player accepts a qualifying offer he remains with his current team for a one- or two-year term. The length of the contract is determined by the player. At the end of this contract the player becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent. While the player is in negotiation with his current team, other teams are allowed to extend Offer Sheets to him. Should the player sign a proposed Offer Sheet, his current team is notified as such, can no longer negotiate a new contract or trade the rights to negotiate and is left with 2 options, Accept or Decline. The current team has 7 days to make its decision.

Accept
The player remains with his current team on a contract identical to that of the Offer Sheet. The team is not allowed to trade the player for one year.

Decline
The player becomes a member of the team with whom he signed the Offer Sheet under all the terms of said Offer Sheet. His now former team claims draft picks from the player’s new team as compensation. Compensatory draft picks are determined by the player’s new salary on a sliding scale.
For example:

In 2008 a team signing a restricted free agent to a salary averaging $2,615,625 to $3,923,437 per season will lose a first-round draft pick and a third-round draft pick to the player’s former team.
Signing a restricted free agent to a contract worth over $6,539,062 per year costs a team four first-round draft picks.
At any point during the negotiation process, if the player has been in the NHL for longer than 4 years (less if the player signed his first contract after the age of 20), either the player or his current team may file for Salary Arbitration as a means of settling a contract dispute. At this point the player may no longer sign an Offer Sheet. The deadline to file for Salary Abitration is July 5th with cases being heard between late July and early August.

Sharks ramp up the Defense for a win in Toronto That was Cam Gores blog tonight. Where did the Sharks go? When you need to ramp up to beat a 8/9 spot team by one goal ,we can assume the Shark expectations have fallen a tad.

I KNEW YOU WOULD FIND IT.

Just checking in, so we won but was it a legit win? Did we outplay them?

Badly in the 1st, got played in the 2nd and then pretty even on out. Detroit blew 3 1 goal leads, so yes, it was a legit win.

Good, I was looking forward to a good effort tonight. Glad the twins showed up, on the score sheet at least!

I thought it was a very well played game. Lots of flow and some good play. Obviously Raymond played like a toolbox with about 5 minutes left but the nucks did not get burned by it.

I love Raymond for what he went through and he should be up for the Masterson Throphy... but I am now thinking he is a weak link.
