Polaris922 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Minor detail... I doubt that holds it up. Not with that kind of money on board to stay here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letang wanted a NMC or NTC, whatever the heck it is so, he'd have stability. He's getting that money starting next year whether with the pens or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting that money starting next year whether with the pens or notBut he has said he wants to stay here and he got a limited NTC. He also got the term he wanted at just under his target figure. I'm thinking the verbal don't trade me for a year goes by the wayside as common sense sets in and he remembers its a business, and if he lives up to the paycheck they won't want to trade him anyway.

I'd like to think this topic would have been covered in the negotiations when the topic of the NTC came up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B21 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wonder how a "public" verbal agreement doesn't circumvent the CBA? Even if thge Pens wanted to accomodate this, I find it hard to believe they could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
