I saw Pie crumble yesterday when pete and habs12 asked him to post regular updates on his whereabouts.


pretty sure the media breaks him down.


His name is Muhammad Abdul Latif Bel Kederghli

Its pretty simple really. I don't like most people and am content to know nothing of any relevance about any of you. Also you spelled my name wrong again. jerk.

on a related topic I don't like this rule at all... I hate the fact that the Rangers can bury their mistake but Wade Redden's NHL career is essentially over.

He might have been serviceable to another team for a fraction of that salary...

Will never understand how the players gave in to that clause of never, ever being able to renegotiate a contract...

It sounded good at the time, kind of like NTCs to the owners.

And Redden is a Richard. I won't bore you with a story of me having his truck towed.

Would you play in the AHL for that money or cut it in half and get back up to the NHL?

Considering everything that comes with being a hockey player in the NHL (Planes, great hotels, "star status" etc.. ) it's worth thinking about it.

my bet is that most guys would try to make it back in the NHL... I'd think...

only real example I can think of is Bryan Berard though. Didn't he give back a huge insurance settlement after his eye got carved to take a shot at playing again?


although I guess not playing at all is different from playing in the AHL...

I think most players would rather be back in the NHL, I believe in the new CBA there will be some sort of mutual arrangement to deal with these type of situations.

Has Redden ever been on re-entry? I don't think so.

I've hopped around from thread to thread, to see what you've contributed to them. It's possible that your most productive and insightful posts occur in this thread. I think to myself - how is this even remotely possible? It's truly amazing.

If you were interested in paying half his salry to go to another team and assuming he'd get picked up. Did they ever put him on re-entry?
