If he's retired that contract should be null and void. There is so much wrong with all of this it's not even funny. This is cap circumvention at it's best.

100% agree, so Arizona can deal a whatever it was for Prongers rights so they don't have to worry about the floor. Sees, like a complete circumvention

NHL allows it though as per the CBA

But he's still collecting money from a players contract. The way everything's gone down with him doesn't sit well with me. The HOF part isn't even really that big of a deal compared to the rest.

Like the fact that even though he's collecting his players salary, he's also collecting a check from the NHL for whatever position it is that he holds with them.

Insurance is picking up something like 70% of it.

What's your feeling on trading for guys with high cap hits but lower salary to get to the cap floor?

I don't care who's paying it, he's still getting paid.

Him and Mark Recchi...

It's going to be like Andre Reed waiting for the call, the players they have to compete with are just that good

IF they are going to physically play the game I don't have an issue with it. But in these two examples they were not playing the game.

Seriously, what would it take to pull Krug out of Boston????

Currently, it seems a 12 pack of Paula's Donuts may get it done.

Probably could have traded Hodgson for him.

1 Wayne Gretzky 2,857
2 Mark Messier 1,887
3 Gordie Howe 1,850
4 JAROMIR JAGR 1,802


Anyone notice Jagr may pass Howe this year and Messier next Holy Boogers

274 pp goals
640 goals
698 assists
1338 points
+38 career +/-
1639 gp

640 goals should be an automatic IMO.

If I were GMTM, I'd give them a semi legit offer, and see if it sticks.

Yes IMO he plays till he's past Mess.

Had he not played overseas the few years he could have ended up with 2000+ points.

If they are in full tank mode for Matthews, unloading Krug would push them in the right direction.

He is a 20 season away from passing Dionne and Hull for 4th and 3rd on the all time goal scoring list.

Too old, too much history, too much salary, wrong position

I agree with most of your post, except "wrong position" ,
