WHL rocks Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That can't be right, can it? I thought the geniuses at the NHL head offices cleared up all of the loopholes in the cba. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vavoom Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Imagine the scenario where NYI tolls out the contract for 10 years to meet the cap floor each year. Tim Thomas will be a 48 year old that is technically still signed to an NHL contract. Then, imagine crazy Tim has used up all his money doing whatever crazy Tim does in his free time. Then, he reports to NYI as a 48 year old to collect his $5M salary. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I didn't realize that the Bruins were still on the hook for Thomas' cap hit. What an A$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Ballard and a 1st Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Islanders traded a conditional 2nd rounder for either 2014 or 2015. This move doesn't make any sense. Why would they give such a high pick for Thomas? Did he say he would play this year? I would think that if anything, Boston would have to give the NYI a 2nd pick just to get out from the cap hit.

allkill326 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Tim Thomas did not get traded. His cap was traded. I think Thomas just..... retired, after causing Boston, his former team, inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 *shrugs* That's probably the reason - still - she should have known better. It's inexcusable if you put in the wrong picture for a player that you see so often in the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 In the end, what makes no sense is how the NHL has approved this, since it's a trade for a player that's already stated he won't be playing in the NHL this year. The NHL has the power to deny trades if they have good reason, but once again they wash their hands of it (assuming they have approved it). It's the back diving contracts all over again, where the NHL only stepped in when it got so absurd their hand was forced. I guess it's just an opportunity for a team that is an original six (and happens to have Jeremy Jacobs running it) to get away with dumping cap when they need to. Chicago sending Huet to Europe, Detroit and Chicago signing the first ever back diving contracts, and now Boston dumping their goalie that won't play for a pick (or maybe even nothing just so they can dump his cap hit). They wanted to shut down the back diving contracts after Luongo's deal was signed. However they couldn't do that without invalidating the contracts for Zetterberg, Franzen and Hossa since they were all too similar. If they had done that, it would have also invalidated the games Detroit and Chicago played that past season, and would have denied Chicago the Stanley Cup they just won. Only once the Kovy deal took it a small step further could they draw the line in the sand. For the rest, they had to complain in the CBA negotiations to show just how against them they really were from the start. If this was Nashville and Florida making the same style deal, I suggest the NHL would have denied it. In the same way, if Luongo was traded to Florida but then decided to take a sabbatical for the remaining (but low paying) years of his contract, Florida would also try and suspend him, but then the NHL would find fault with it because it doesn't benefit a team they want it to.
