Calli do the honors of creating the new thread please. Once you do I'll lock this one down.

This is pretty much the stance I'm taking. To completely cut hockey off would be too much. But they will see absolutely no monetary support from me.

In the meantime... WHERE IS LUONGO GOING?

**Deader2818** · 2013-01-06 11:11

Well, they could just buy him out now, lol.

Why buy him out when we could get Bozak! -.-

**Deader2818** · 2013-01-06 11:24

I want to see Luongo in Chicago so bad.

The Sleeping Giant ‏@USAbesthockey
We don't want to say the US winning gold at the World Juniors ended the lockout, but look at it logically. America ended the lockout.

Well i know the rangers will buyout Redden.....but after that....i really can't see an unreasonable contract for the rangers.

**Callisto** · 2013-01-06 11:42

Don't really see the point of buying out Redden's last two up front since he's buried in the minors and not counting against the cap anyways, they can either pay him his salary over two years or in a lump up front, don't see a benefit to shelling out that much cash this season.

**Deader2818** · 2013-01-06 11:43

Maybe Gaborik?

**Callisto** · 2013-01-06 11:43

-It will be harder to bury one-way deals in the minors under new CBA. This season anything over $900,000 in AHL counts on a team's cap.
-To be clear, one-way deals in AHL totalling the minimum salary plus $375,000 are exempt from cap. The #NYR have a decision on Redden.

You can no longer bury one way contracts over a certain amount in the minors. Redden will count against the cap even in the minors.

this also means FANTASY

**Deader2818** · 2013-01-06 11:51

WHO IS THE NEW YAHOO COMMISH?

**CrosisX** · 2013-01-06 11:52

Hmmm Fantasy hockey does sound fun to join this year.

**Ivaden** · 2013-01-06 12:32

Fuck, guys I'm still so excite. I wish I could join those of you saying you're not going to games or buying merch, but I'll happily sit my ass in Consol seats multiple times in the next ~50 games. No shame. All of my money.

I can finally get rid of this godawful avatar and now we can have fantasy hackey!

**isladar** · 2013-01-06 12:37
