he has to play in 2/3 of the Bruins playoff games AND they have to reach the ECF.

Also, if they re-sign him before the draft it becomes a 2nd. Plus, if they re-sign him after the draft the Flyers get an additional 4th.
- FlyerGuy

What if the 2/3rds condition is met, but they re-sign him after the draft?

Do they get a 2nd and a 4th?

I don't think that 3rd is becoming a 2nd
- Tomahawk

Ha! I'm fine with that -- I feel fortunate that they got the 3rd, TBH.

- Giroux_Is_God

from what I read the 4th is solely contingent on the B's re-signing him after the draft. So, it potentially could be 2nd AND a 4th.

but it will probably just be a 3rd.

- AllInForFlyers

Me too. In a perfect world, they would have gotten another 2nd or 3rd for Grossmann as well.

Can someone tell me the conditions of the Mez pick becoming a second?

"That third round pick, which is a 2014 pick, will become a second rounder if the Bruins a) make the Eastern Conference Finals with Meszaros playing two-thirds of Boston's games or b) if Boston re-signs Mesz before the 2014 Draft. If neither of those things happen but Meszaros re-signs with Boston after the Draft, the Flyers will keep the third rounder and get an additional 2015 4th round pick." - BSH
- Tomahawk

maybe I'm wrong, then ... that makes it sound like the potential 4th would be in addition to the 3rd.

It still bothers me that the NHL hands down a punishment, then just undoes it because it's "the right thing to do". Are they going to be so forgiving toward teams that get slammed with the cap recapture penalty?
- BulliesPhan87

so did this come as a result of an appeal filed by the Devils or is the league just saying (frank) it and doing it for no reason?

Why don't you pull a 360 degree turnaround and go back to where you came from.

Indeed.

But hey- maybe someone will get hurt! I can hope

edit: ah, I might be out of the loop on these jokes. my apologies. lol

Not someone too important though, gotta make the ECF.

Here's a few that I hate....

"Can you take out the trash awhile?"

"There's still some work to do yet."

GODDAMNIT THOSE WORDS DON'T NEED TO BE THERE

I didn't hear anything about an appeal recently, so I assume it was the latter.

I heard someone use "irregardless" in an actual work meeting and I almost walked out.

Well, I really wanted to walk out to read more about the Andrew MacDonald trade....BUT STILL!

I would have walked out irredgardlessly.

So what happened with the Devils that they get penalized? Serious question.

- Giroux_Is_God

Supposibly, the NHL all of the sudden is pulling a 360 and giving the Devils their first pick back irregardless of the Kovalchuk deal.

So what happened with the Devils that they get penalized? Serious question.
- Streit2ThePoint

The Kovalchuk deal that was struck down by the league. They extended a second offer shortly thereafter which ended up being "fair" in the eyes of the league, but that first one warranted the punishment.

- Streit2ThePoint

They signed Kovalchuk to some stupid long deal (like 15 years) with some serious back-diving money, to which the NHL basically said enough is enough and hit them with some penalties. This led to the rule about salary change from year-to-year of a contract (like how the Flyers had to rework Talbot's).
