Weber: "I signed long-term with the Flyers because I want to win a Cup, and this seems like the easiest way to wind up doing that in LA."

No, if you match you can't trade the player for a whole year.

But why the hell would they want to trade him anyway?
- Scabeh

Once he is signed who is going to want to trade for him, 7.85 mil for the next 14 years is insane

68 million in bonuses over the first 6 years, talk about a big (frank) you to the rest of the owners.
- Oilhab

Wow.

How can Bettman say his offer his serious after that?

(frank)ing ridiculous.

Nope 2 1sts a 2nd and a 3rd
- RENATO6

it's 4 first round picks because you divide the total amount of the contract by 5 year max to get the salary you use to determine the compensation

It's Shea (frank)ing Weber!

yeah, I guess you can afford that when you are not building a condo tower

Will the tower atleast be part Hotel?

First 5 levels hotel and the rest condos would be a good idea for that area.

The Kovalchuk clause was it had to be no less then half the previous year, right?

So they are screwed.

that Pekka Rinne mother(frank)er didn't get all pissed off about Kovalchuk.

GTFO

- Scabeh

But let's say they have to forfeit a 1st rounder in the next 3 years like the Devils, will the offer sheet still stand, considering they won't have 4 1st round picks? Does it have to be 1st picks in the next 4 years?

Funny but I wish Bergevin did this with Subban's contract.

One (frank)ing cap circumvention before the new CBA kicks in.

I don't know, maybe...I know they intend to build a Habs sports bar at ground level, a gym and some other stuff. Molson said that they are still working on that, he could not even tell for sure how many square feet the Sports Bar will be.

I think a certain unkown soldier is going to have dust off the boonie hat and shades and bring the fight back to the NHL on behalf of the Preds. That team is gonna go nowhere fast...even David Legwand can't save that team now.

They'll just move the Cage aux Sports in the tower.

- _nay_

Hard to tell with the NHL.

They have rules but they only enforce them when they feel like it.
