2013 NHL Season Thread: TUUKKA RASK, HE'S FROM FINLAND, AND IS INELIGIBLE TO BECOME MAYOR

[Vaspinne]

Not saying I want that to happen, just saying that it will happen ._.

[Callisto]

From Flames.nhl.com:


“Prior to tendering the offer sheet for Ryan O’Reilly we, as a hockey operations department, examined whether there were any impediments to our successfully securing the services of the player including, but not limited to, his having played in the KHL after the start of the current NHL season.

Our interpretation of the Article 13 transition rules governing restricted free agents (“RFA”), and the applicability of Article 13.23 under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement to such RFA’s was, and continues to be, different than the NHL’s current interpretation as articulated to us this morning. Moreover, throughout our discussions, the player’s representative shared our interpretation and position with respect to the non-applicability of Article 13.23.

While we were prepared to advance our position with the NHL, in light of Colorado’s having matched the offer sheet it is now an academic point. As such, we will have no further comment on the matter, the player, or the offer sheet process.”

IE:We forgot. Stop making fun of us.

So uhh, they're saying that they knew the NHL's interpretation of the rule would have required the waivers, but they and the agent disagreed and felt they could just argue their way out of it if the sheet didn't get matched. Seems like a hell of a gamble, lol. Most epic thing ever would have been Colorado not matching, then claiming him on waivers a few days later.

Pretty much, lol. This team is like an untrained puppy. You want to love it and on the surface, it looks adorable and fun. But really, it shits on your bed, chews on and eats away everything you cherish, and is a pain in the ass to deal with.

[NynJa]

[Ratatapa]

when you have to take that pic for our bet, I'll send you one of those out of my pocket (If I find a job by then), kay? If you're going to have to take that picture, might as well liven it up with the baby since you'll probably have the most miserable face known to man at that point lol

[CrosisX]

Oilers have only 2 shots on goal after 17 minutes then get 2 goals in 23 seconds.

[Cail]

Wow, 4 games on NHLN tomorrow

[Selamis]

:< That angers me, considering that Comcast bumped it off my package and I'm not buying the highest tier one, just for that and a handful of other channels lol.
