Howie58 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 This is good for the Canes. We eat salary and they only have one year to worry.about. This would make Torts happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 So if it happens, we gave up 3 draft picks for a loaner and then ate half his salary. Wow. Happy to see him go though. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he doesn't want to come to Philly really but now WTF wants Krug he sucks he is more like a left hand Tony Deangelo offense is lacking and defense is non existent. I don't know how they are going to find a team with a playoff shot (because i know he doesn't want to go to some bottom feeder) who would want this guy for 4 more years at 6.5 mill per season?? Where is Fletecher when you need him somEone hire that clown already. I knew going to bed last night all this was too good to be true. I blame Eric Lindros!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First step was SUBTRACTION. Clearly Torts gave him a long list. If they can get all the subtraction done in one season and add picks/prospects it'll be a huge successful first step no matter how bad we are next year. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Maybe I am naïve, but it seems like we don't want the senior staff of the hockey teams handling state secrets or sensitive health info, whatever. Even if the "leakers" are kept off the record, it seems a lot of information is getting out about prospective trades that could hurt the reps of people involved or of teams' bargaining positions. It just seems strange this stuff would get so much coverage before happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Well, I feel like the deals are going to collapse. Now we'll see how good of a GM Briere is. He has no choice now but to move the players mentioned. They can't come back into the locker room knowing that they were going to be moved and you can bet they'll be pissed that they're in a place where they aren't wanted. Danny's going to have to get real creative to pull these moves off. It's too bad about the TDA trade because there's no reason why that should have gone down the drain. Take whatever prospect they're offering and move on. If Ponomarev was the guy, then you run with him. Worst case is that he doesn't pan out and goes back to Russia. Something else must have been going on there for that to collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the money not work for retaining 50% of TDA without St. Louis? I'm thinking the "snag" with Carolina was somewhere along those lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JR Ewing Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2023 @BobbyClarkeFan16@ruxpin From a Pierre LeBrun article at The Athletic: What’s the holdup on DeAngelo? In the meantime, another proposed Flyers trade that was supposed to happen Sunday did not. The Hurricanes and Flyers were in agreement in principle on Tony DeAngelo going to Carolina for a prospect and Philadelphia retaining 50 percent of his remaining $5 million salary and cap hit for next season. But my understanding is that the NHL took issue with DeAngelo going back to Carolina within a year of his trade from the Hurricanes. There’s language in the CBA about a player returning within 12 months, especially on a retained salary, as being possible circumvention. I believe both the Flyers and Hurricanes have argued with the league about this, saying: 1) His contract wasn’t even signed with Carolina; it was Philadelphia that signed him last summer to a two-year, $10 million deal. And 2) Chuck Fletcher was the GM who traded for DeAngelo and signed him, and he’s no longer there — so how could any of this be a circumvention? My understanding is that the league will talk to the teams this week in Nashville about it. Either the league will sign off on it or it will want the teams to wait until July 9 to complete the trade, following the 12 months rule. If that’s the case, who knows if the current proposed trade still works for both teams. So stay tuned on that one. -------------------------- Everybody knows you're only allowed to circumvent the cap during the playoffs. /s 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league is probably on the Flyers case because Bobby Clarke used to do this all the time in the days of the old waiver draft. He got nailed one year for sending Pete Peters to Winnipeg and then took Shawn Cronin. After the draft, he traded Cronin for Peters. I get that there wasn't a salary cap back then, but the Flyers tried to cheat the system to keep Peters (I believe they protected Ron Hextall and Bruce Hoffort) without exposing him to the waiver draft. Bobby Clarke used to do so sorts of shady ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
