I think you are correct Homie...
John Clayton was going off on Bell last week on WGR saying that if he doesnt sign by today, he is a complete idiot and he and his agent have no clue about the rules.
Apparently, somehow he loses a boat load of money ... that sounded about right.

He only loses whatever is left on this year's tag. That's it. He's a UFA, and if he's tagged again the Steelers are looking at ~$25M. What the Steelers could, probably should, do is transition tag him and have the chance to match whatever contract he signs with another team. I'm not sure what the compensation is though.

He can’t play this year because he didn’t sign? Is that right?

That is correct. I'd drop him for someone else immediately.

Already without starting goalie Jonathan Quick, the Los Angeles Kings announced Monday that backup netminder Jack Campbell also needs knee surgery and is out four to six weeks.The Kings have goalie Peter Budaj on the roster but called up Cal Petersen from the AHL . He's in his second season in the minors after playing at Notre Dame.

Die animal boy, DIE!

They really have no reason not to. They don't get locked in like they would with the Franchise tag.

I'm trying to keep my expectations low. This is a possible cup-winning team. If they keep it competitive, I'm good
