He's screwing the Sabres with what he is doing but also, screwing himself with other teams in the league. Bogo had enough and told him in " NICE" way to shut his pile hole.

What I learned today

-We have many frustrated Contract Lawyers, CAP experts, NTC Process experts, and Judges here in this room.
-Always answer the phone, always...Gretzky might be calling
-Sabres are a lock for playoffs
-We all hate on Rhino when one word is mentioned about him
-Rhino is no EK9er from Dec to Dec
-Rhino should play C again
-Rhino should never play C zgzin
-Jack, errr Clank should be traded for near-retirement players
-Berglund sucks, although we never got an answer on if it is the left or the right one
-Berglund will never play in a Sabres, nor any NHL uniform again...but will make $3m in Sweden playing in a Godfather movie
-the word Material is a clever adjective to ensure Lawyers continue to get paid
-NHL Contracts only infer a player should play in games, but in court, well it can be challenged that not doing so is a breach of said contract
-the word HATE is thrown around indescriminantly, anytime you are losing an argument it is a solid defense to accuse the other side of being haters
-employees are never wrong, employers are evil and should bend over to yeld to what said employee feels like doing at any time.
-working hard does not pay. Employees are owed everything and no demands should be placed upon them.
-Sabres should break-up the best line this city has seen in 10 years

Go Clank, (frank) Rhino...

I think regardless of all of this, it was a bad look by the Blues organization.

They basically swindled both the player and the Sabres organization.

The trade happened on July 1. The start of the off-season. I mean, come on, this is pretty blatant cap circumvention by the Blues, TBH.

Instead of approaching the player to submit an updated list, they traded him the SECOND they had the chance.

This just goes to show that employers are shady no matter what your line of work is. It's simply in bad taste to have traded him the literal first day he had a modified NTC kick in on his ludicrous contract to begin with.

He showed up to the Sabres, was promised top-9 minutes and was given no chance to develop chemistry with his team mates, on a team that finished DEAD LAST in the standing last year.

I am ALWAYS for the employee in these situations. If I was hired to be an NFTA bus driver and they made me go drive a school bus for middle school kids, I would be furious, wouldn't you?

That said, he isn't acting any more entitled than any other athlete, ever. Yeah, he made a couple poor decisions, but come on, these are people, too, with a grueling travel schedule, and habits just like the rest of us.

Say he got hammered and was too hung over to make the flight the next day... How many of us have done this? And if we hated our jobs... Well, how many of us have no call/no showed a job? I know I have, albeit when I was younger...

Regardless, I'm with Derk Aiser on this one, I do not see a MATERIAL BREACH of a 5-year contract and this isn't a regular job, the fact that it's CONTRACTUAL WORK alone should be enough for anyone to realize this isn't a matter of firing a guy for a no call/no show.

They did it then so that they'd pay ROR's bonus, if the Sabres waited they'd have been on the hook. That's the only reason, the Blues didn't do it to (frank) over Berglund. It's 100% on the agent to have the list to the team well in advance of them needing it. They dropped the ball big time, not the team. Should the team have gone to him and asked him? Probably, yes, but it's not their problem. I would think the guy really doesn't care where he gets traded to if he doesn't have his list in. Breakdown of communication at the worst.

The material breach would be him saying he's done and has no intention of fulfilling his end of the deal anymore. That would be incredibly stupid, but people do stupid poop all the time.

Thankfully those PP goals don’t count, cause they don’t score them.
