Wow, Boston got a 2nd over all and a ninth overall out of TO for $27.7 mil.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

The Leaves would be essentially trading cash for a draft pick with no cap consequences. How can the NHL allow that 6 months after locking out their own fans claiming it needed to get it's house in order?Zedlee wrote:Creative move. Seems the sticking point was that TB wanted to then re-sign Lecavalier, who would be a UFA. The league said no, but really, is that fair? I understand you can't buy out a player and then re-sign him, but if it were the leaves who did the buy out, what's the problem?vic wrote:Looks like the leaves tried to buy the 3rd overall draft pick for $30 Million, NHL stepped in and said "I don't think so"

Would the Canucks buying out RL with a wink wink, nudge nudge agreement with Philly that he would sign there and then Philly sending the Canucks their 1st rd pick for say, Schroeder, be considered cap circumnavigation?

Why on fucking earth would you trade the 3rd overall for a cheaper Vinnie?

I don't think the NHL would have a huge problem with a DiPietro + good prospect for Luongo type trade because exchanging bad contracts is part of the business of the sport...but flat out selling a draft pick for cash isn't

Don't forget they'd no longer be obliged to paying Lecav that $55mil over the next 7 yearsTopper wrote:Why on fucking earth would you trade the 3rd overall for a cheaper Vinnie?
... and/or no Recapture penalty.
Pay Vinnie $1mil per?
Savings = #30mil + $50mil = $80mil.
Then there's the extra cap-room option
... giving them the opportunity to sign some stars and make a Cup run = mo money.

And trade for Luongo cause now they could afford his cap hit And if it works then trade him to the leaves next year and let the leaves use their second compliance buy out and resign him like Vinny.

Less Canucks embarrassment please.
Re: Daddy needs a new pair of shoes, so buy me out baby...
I don't think that would be cal circumvention at all. Remember, players used to be traded for picks, parts, players, and cash. I don't think there is any rule that says you cannot outright sell your players or picks, is there?Jovocop wrote:It might be pretty hard.

Trading a player to be bought out and then re-signing him while having guarantees in place because you offered a major incentive, that's circumvention. Buying a guy out an having a guarantee from him that he will sign a certain place and then trading a former late first round pick for an early-mid first round pick is just a trade. If Luongo was willing to sign in Philly that's up to Luongo. It's not like either team would be dumping cap and keeping the player....
