2013 NHL Off-Season Thread


Recommended Posts

Chris Chelios becomes the first Wisconsin Badger to get in.

And Atlanta Thrasher.

Who's going to remember his Atlanta stint? Seriously, the only people who can remember his Thrasher days are hardcore hockey people in general (like some of us on here) and the 200-300 people who tailgated to protest True North to no avail (i.e. diehard Thrasher fans).

I will remember his 7 games with the Thrash more fondly than his days with Montreal, Chicago, and Detroit. I think he should go in as a Thrasher.

(do hockey players go into the hall with a certain team?)

No

Bruins resign Tuukka Rask. 8 years, $56 million. I have a feeling they're going to regret this.

As do I, but then again I disagree with any long-term deal for any goaltender. They're a fickle breed.

Also, what happened to Rask's $36 million over 6 years he wanted before the Final? His play at the tail end of it certainly didn't warrant any higher raise.

Perron to the Oil for Paajarvi-Svensson (yes, I still call him that) and a second-rounder next year.

Yay. MPS(the reduced version of RNH) was a total bust.

HOLY :censored:

I'm going to be on the Yahoo Sports/Sportsnet hockey podcast today talking with Greg Wyshnski of Puck Daddy! Their normal co-host Jeff Marek of Sportsnet is out today, so there's a slew of people going on the show, and he chose me as one of them!

Tune in at 2:50 p.m ET/11:50 a.m. PT at this site: http://www.sportsnet.ca/590/marek-vs-wyshynski/ : to hear me talk about probably hockey, hopefully some Ducks hockey with the Puck Daddy himself. I'm pretty excited.

Damn, Zach! Congrats!

The AHL announced its new alignment today, featuring a "West Division" of Abbotsford, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Texas, and Charlotte. Things are so broken in that league's setup.

On yesterday's show, Wyshynski just threw out the idea that since Marek would be gone he'd just have a free for all with the listeners and if we wanted on to send him an e-mail. I said what the hell, e-mailed him, and he got back to me this morning! So I'll be on at 11:50 PT. The show actually starts at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET if you want to listen to the whole thing, or you can listen to the recorded podcast later. I'm not sure how much time I'll even be on, but we'll see. It should be fun! :lol:

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. That was unexpected.

I'm not good with all the cash and salary components of the game, but what's the financial penalty (if any) for the Devils?

Have they used both their compliance buyouts?

EDIT: Correct me if I'm wrong, but since he's retired, his contract doesn't count against the cap (since it's not a 35+ one). A buyout would be for the sole purpose of saving 1/3 of the actual money.

Correction/Update: I was right (sort of). They don't have to pay his salary, but they will have $250K a year counted against the cap for the duration of the contract (until 2024-25).
