Yeah, about time after all the utter BS that he was NOT going to be bought out from his agent. The guy doomed his fate by a)being "pretty good" when being paid to be a franchise goaltender for all of one year and sucking the year before b) attacking the Philly media(how stupid can u be?) because he's a headcase and c) being a headcase, even by goaltender standards. Sure can't fault Holmgren for cutting his losses because that contract was God-awful, but it was Holmgren who signed the mental case to the contract to begin with. Such as it is goes the Flyers, the most entertaining team in the NHL a lot of times with their personnel moves.

Re: Around the League: Transactions
It's always been that way for years? You have an AHL salary while you are in the A and an NHL salary while in the NHL and maybe a guarantee minimum according to your contract.Digitalgypsy66 wrote:Brett Sutter, re-signs with the Hurricanes 1 year, 600K. 150K at the AHL level, but he's guaranteed to make $250K this season. Is that a new wrinkle to the CBA? I don't recall hearing minimum salaries between the AHL/NHL.

Re: Around the League: Transactions
Hmm. That seems like a hefty price tag for Anisimov. I didn't watch much Cbus last year, but, saw a very average player in New York under Torts, who teased on occasion. I would expect more of a tweener salary for him. Think something like Andrew Cogliano. Not identical players but the best quick comp I can come up with. I'm sure Cogs is < $2.5

Re: Around the League: Transactions
Anisimov led the Jackets in ES goals and shooting percentage while also missing time due to a concussion.
He definitely got a bigger role in CBus than he had in NYR, and he stepped up. 11 goals in 35 games this year when he had all of 16 last year and a career high of 18 the year before (in a full season). Was on pace for a 25-26 goal season.

Re: Around the League: Transactions
Interesting loophole closed by the NHL:
From Larry Brooks http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/more_spo ... 1GtnCDS8ZO" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The NHL on Monday moved to close a loophole left in the allegedly airtight collective bargaining agreement by notifying general managers the league would deem re-signing a player following a trade and a subsequent amnesty buyout as circumvention, and thus would not register the contract, The Post has learned.
It is believed the Lightning and Maple Leafs had discussed such a maneuver regarding Vincent Lecavalier, who has seven years and $45 million remaining on his contract, with the buyout thus worth slightly more than $30 million.
The amnesty buyout period begins Wednesday night at 11:00, and lasts through July 4, one day before the opening of this year’s free agent market.
The clubs theoretically would have concocted a swap in which Tampa Bay would have sent an asset — perhaps a draft pick — to rolling-in-dough Toronto along with Lecavalier, who would have re-signed a more modest deal with the Lightning after being bought out by the Leafs.
Such a scheme would have saved Tampa Bay’s ownership a substantial sum while easing a cap squeeze for general manager Steve Yzerman, whose club currently faces a charge of $7.727 million per for Lecavalier through 2019-20 and the danger of significant cap-recapture penalties should No. 4 retire while still under contract.
The Leafs would have received an asset while the 33-year-old Lecavalier would at least have been made whole. It would have been a win-win-win situation ... but the NHL obviously perceived this — or any similar scheme — as a loss for the integrity of the labor agreement spawned by Owners’ Lockout III.
It is unknown whether the Lightning will amnesty Lecavalier on their own. Players who are bought out cannot be re-signed by their original clubs for one year. That is part of the CBA.

Re: Around the League: Transactions
Thanks for this... I wondered about this in terms of a trade for the Pens and others, as there seems to be a handful of teams that would not have a logical buyout option.... Vinny was the player I was actually thinking of...Digitalgypsy66 wrote:Interesting loophole closed by the NHL:

EDIT: Reading this again... looks like its within the CBA to work out a '3 way' deal where, say, the Pens could trade an asset for an asset + Vinny, buy him out, and then have some other team sign him?

Re: Around the League: Transactions
Tanguay > Jones
Sarich > O'Brien
Jones is a marginal 2nd liner with a bloated contract. Not dissimilar from Penner.
Tanguay has been around forever, but he's younger than Kunitz. And he's good for @ 50 pts.
O'Brien has been awful with the Avs. Addition by subtraction. They get a servicable bottom pair guy in Sarich for a year.
I'd say this is a win for the Avs, as the vets will bring stability to that young lockerroom.
