puckhead Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Nashville doesnt make the 2nd $13M bonus payout (or any other bonus payout)? do the Flyers get Weber's rights? or does he become UFA? or does Nashville get the right to trade him?

It's a legally-binding contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishjim Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 me thinks his contract would become null and void and he'd be an UFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I don't see a way it even begins to happen.If the Preds go bankrupt in the next year, the League would take them over (as they did Phoenix) and the contracts would be paid.They can't just "decide" not to make the next payment. If that was the case, there would be chaos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puckhead Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 i was thinking along the lines of no (or abreiviated) season next year, and the team is in deep and just cant make the payment. the individual owners no doubt are isolated and not personally liable. a 10% owner of a $165M team may not want to personally throw in $13M for what amounts to another 10% of a sinking ship. throwing good money after bad.

jammer2 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 @radoran Yep, the league would step right in. If I'm not mistaken, the league had to float the Devils some cash to make payroll a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
