Is the “well-placed hockey industry source” by any chance the guy who calls himself Eklund?

I know this subject is getting old but as a ranger fan I’m getting a little ticked off at how the Dallas Stars and some in the media are trying to figure out how they can wiggle out of Avery’s contract…

The Rangers themselves wont object; they’ll watch and see to learn how they could do it to one day; but as fans- even if you are tickled pink that this happened to him when NYR aren’t holding the tab—you still have to be objective

They outbid the Rangers for one of our players; one that they knew full-well what his issues are…now they are crying and agreeing with Gary Buttman>??? do you smell a dollar trying to be saved??

If the NHLPA doesnt slam the door, and show a pair… on any non-conventional escape from contract obligations then we are certainly headed to another lock-out

Yeah, gotta go with Hank. If he needs to be backed up two games in a row for a reason other than injury you gotta question if he’s “the guy”.

And as we all know, he’s the guy.

Obviously Henrik gets the call.

LI Joe – “buyout of contract still counts vs the cap (even if we traded for the guy ala avery), but parking a guy in the ahl still works as avoiding a cap hit. of course if tried to bring back still get that 1/2 cap hit if claimed. still want no part of avery in organization either in nhl or around the kids in the ahl.”

ME EITHER! But what my thought process was on the idea (which is really moot, because it ain’t gonna happen, but just for sh!ts n giggs…) was that if he’s never on the nhl roster, and clearly his $ wouldn’t count against the cap, how could the buyout count against the cap if the salary wasn’t counting against the cap anyway? Honestly, I really don’t care, it’s on the same level of an Eklund rumor. But you gotta love “CBA Talk”.

CCCP

Good work tonight, comrade. More energy than our heroes have shown almost since Prague!

Tomorrow night: Is it possible that this team will come out of the gate and press Clemmy from the first shift and put doubt in the heads of the Debbies and simply take the game away from them for sixty minutes!

I would take almost any result—— as long as it comes with a vivid, headlong, committed effort from jump street! The Devils are loaded for bear. Let’s eff them up.
