Flyers can afford any player they want the owner daniel snyder owns comcast .

Snyder may be able to personally afford to pay them but despite how rich he is that extra 12 or 13 million per year from weber would have definately put them over the new salary cap

They offered parise and sutter 100 mill a peice but both turned them down to go play for minesota.

Sabres offered them both the same - Parise knew what he wanted and wouldn't be swayed. I know since he is my cousin lol - and weber followed

I'm still cautiously optimistic that we will get someone of a season. May not be a full one, but I think we will see hockey. I just want to see Grigorenko play with us, he is tearing up the QHJML with the Ramparts.

The NHL sent out a letter to owners today - gives them permission to talk freely to the players between today and midnight friday to work out a deal.

The last chance for a full season is if they get something done by tomorrow... cross your fingers for a miracle

The Winter Classic may be cancelled but at least they arent going to skip us... gives us something to look forward too next year :3 hockey at the big house

As someone who hardly watches Ice Hockey, I never would have thought it was such an aggressive sport.

Nothing beats NRL aggression though.

Ahh man and I was forward to my sharks killing mitch's red wings again this season.

Wheres the dislike button when you need it

Even though the wings have been sucking in the post season the last few years


Terms of the latest proposal :3 not too shabby

• Ten-Year Agreement (through 2021/22 season); Parties have mutual opt-out right after 8 years.

• 50-50 Revenue Split between Clubs and Players with current HRR Accounting.

• $300 million in "Make-Whole" payments (outside the system) to compensate Players for the reduced value of Player contracts in the early years of the new CBA.

• No contractual "roll backs" of Player Salaries.

• Clubs can operate with an effective Upper Limit of $70.2 million in 2012/13; must come into compliance with $60 million Upper Limit for the start of the 2013/14 season.

• Each Club will be entitled to execute up to one "Compliance Buy-Out" prior to the 2013/14 season pursuant to which payments made to the Player will not be charged against the team's Cap, but will be charged against the Players' Share.

• Establishment of a Defined Benefit Pension Plan that will provide maximum permissible benefits to Players upon retirement. The Plan will be funded with contributions out of Players' Share and $50 million of the "Make-Whole" payment amount of $300 million will be allocated and set aside to fund potential underfunding liabilities of the Plan at end of CBA.

• Rules for Entry Level System, Salary Arbitration and Group 3 Unrestricted Free Agency will remain unchanged.

• Maximum contract length of 6 years subject to a Club's ability to re-sign its own Player for a term of up to 7 years (provided the Player played his last full season with the re-signing Club). In addition, year-to-year Salary variability will be limited (up or down) to no more than 10% of the value of the first year of a multi-year SPC.

• Money paid (above a defined threshold) to Players on NHL SPCs in another professional league (e.g., the AHL or a European league) will be charged against the NHL team's Cap, but not against the Players' Share.

• "Cap Advantage Recapture" formula applicable to existing long-term contracts (in excess of 6 years) for years in which Player is retired or fails/refuses to perform under his NHL SPC.

• Ability for Clubs to retain/allocate Salary and Cap Charges in the context of Player Trades within specified parameters.

• More robust League-wide Revenue Sharing Program (increased pool from approximately $150 million to $200 million) with creation of Industry Growth Fund to improve the long-term revenue generating potential of the League and low-grossing Clubs. Formation of active Revenue Sharing Oversight Committee on which NHLPA will participate.

• New Player Discipline procedures and protocol incorporating Player appeal rights to a neutral third-party arbitrator for both on-ice and off-ice discipline.

I was a sharks fan tonight

 

and boy did they come through big for the wings!!

 

A win for Dallas would have tied them with the wings at 50 points and that simply wouldn't do 

 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Mr Illitch didn't buy your boys a fancy steak dinner for that epic comeback tonight

Pens/Canadiens/Chicago/Canucks - my picks for biggest upsets - IE knocked out in round 1 or 2. Stanley cup will be Bruins Vs Ducks - you heard it here first.

Eww the Ducks?? Thats a gross pick

 

They aren't a Stanley Cup team, they're not prepared for it psychologically and they will crumble under the pressure.

[Tricky Sonic]

I don't like it either, but I feel we are do for a lame cup

[Mitch]

Oh how you underestimate the Red Wings

 

Creamed the Kings tonight and net themselves a tidy 2 point profit

 

sitting at a humble 8th place..... but Tricky called for an upset of the Blackhawks

 

 

so that means you're rooting for the Wings
