Even a player like Nelson should not have an NTC.

I know you believe this but the reality is they do and it’s not going to change anytime soon. These players negotiated for security years ago and have a found a way to maintain it being part of a negotiated contract for a very long time now.

A new GM should handle any rebuild.

Anyone trading for Nelson will likely be a contender so the #1 would be lower.

I’ll also add to this like the article stated I don’t think it will be a full fire sale kind of rebuild. It’s not possible with some of these bozo contracts. You also have to factor in wasting years with a player like Sorokin. Has to be more of a retool then a rebuild. Whether that works or not who knows but I think it would have been easier and we would have been far ahead of the game if it started last TDL. God damn shame that didn’t happen…

I get why the players want it. It's not good for the teams and the fans. I'll have to talk to Ledecky so he can have the owners end this nonsense.

Then we would finally have a real reason for why UFA’s don’t want to come here.

I will not rest until 7 year and NTC deals are gone.

Pete,

I got good news for ya'.

Tonight the Islanders are playing a team that folds faster than a piece of paper in the 3rd period. Just stay within four goals of Columbus and you have a great chance to win.

So it's going to be a real origami fest tonight.

That was a goal, but I can see why they didn't overturn it.
