Exactly, all any good lawyer needs is a thread to start pulling on to unravel everything. The BIGGEST precedent set by the league today was that they will alter the punishments for trying to circumvent the cap. Now that they have done that, all bets are off.

The Devils weren't appealing the recapture penalty, they were appealing the penalty they got for cap circumvention, and they were the only team to be punished for it, Det, Chi, Van or anyone else got off scot free.

What number is Matthias going to wear?

They should give him #1 to really stick it to Luongo.

Sorry, I disagree. What was altered for the Devils was never even part of the Canucks punishment. Apples & oranges. As of today, recapture stands.

You have no idea if that is the case.

Pfft. $250,000.00. Vantel spends more than that on hookers in a weekend.

Too soon? I'm sure Kesler would be happy to give it up in exchange for something...

Does Matthias have a wife/fiancé/gf? I'm sure they can figure something out...

Check out his Twitter, I'm sure Kesler can work with that.

Exactly - and as it is now if Luongo retired there would be recapture penalties. None of you know whether or not a lawyer could take this Kovalchuk situation to court and use it for precedent.

The Beatles are willing to aggressively listen to any offers being tendered for their #1 centre, Claude Giroux. TDL B*TCHES. #severeoverpayment

Knowing Kesler, it will involve a "High-Five Switch".

Aren't those great uni's

Has anyone found out if eating his salary/cap hit goes toward reducing the recapture at all? He better retire early!

But NJ fought against the draft pick punishment and a middle ground was established. They didn't fight the recapture penalty did they?
