digitalmonkey 929 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 If I'm Mike Richards i would lawyer up ASAP and sue the Kings, NHL , the Internet and whomever I can. IF he had a proper prescriptions that is. I think this might get interesting It's a union issue. They'll either reach an agreement or an arbitrator will decide. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The Penguins have a lot of money tied up in 5 players! they would make a great fantasy AHL team. NHL Cup contender? will be interesting to see. I dont know, I dont trust Rutherford like I used to. I dont know if this Kessel move will work. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think Hornqvist, Kunitz, Sutter, Perron are all pretty good. Maataa too. but otherwise, ya. lol Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I love the change to OT Me too. Anything to reduce the numbers of times the outcome of a game is decided by a shootout. I didn't know there was already a rule about forfeiting the game point if a goalie is pulled in OT and the team loses. I guess I've never seen it happen. I love the offsides review and coaches challenge. I'm guessing it's going to be used instead of just calling a time out every single time a team wants to call a timeout after a stoppage in their own zone during a long shift. There's no downside to challenging the entry unless I'm missing something. I'm not sure about the goalie interference replay and challenge but it shows the NHL's intent on trying to get the calls right. Other sports should take note. Link to post Share on other sites

What are the chances if Doughty or Kopitar were in the same situation? Almost zero chance they have their contract terminated Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 "Here’s the new development: following the Kings’ termination Richards’s contract on the basis of a “material breach”, it was reported that Richards was allegedly taken into custody at the Canadian/U.S. border in connection with the unlawful possession of OxyContin pills." Not the smartest pill in the box (pun intended) -- seems like it would be an obvious search by border control. Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Maple Leafs blogger’s tax-loss case highlights difficulties of independence Thanks for posting this. I found this very interesting as you know. I also think that it is a business since as they stated that Berger started it from Day 1 after he left. Generally CRA does not bother a person but his claims were high, that is why he hit the radar. Even though the losses were high he was able to claim it against his severance (if it was not lump sum but paid out over the 21 months) and recoup some tax savings. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Not trying to troll the Penguin fans: I think the Pens adding Phil Kessel, would be sort of like the Jays adding Albert Pujols..I mean sure its great to have but the team has other needs. Instead of adding another high priced offensive player, maybe they would be suited to add more cap friendly guys like the Leafs have been adding..Cheaper 3rd and 4th line guys that can eat up minutes and contribute..Also the lack of depth on defence is where they were exposed last year Link to post Share on other sites

If they trade Kunitz, then its gets pretty slim after that.. it will be interesting to see how it turns out..In a cap world its very dangerous what the Penguins are committing too...The Hawks have managed to keep on top buy filling out the bottom end consistently . The salary cap world is very tough to manage.. In 2021 the Penguins will have $32 million in salary to: Crosby 33 Malkin 34 Kessel 33 Letang 35 Thats pretty dangerous, but if you can win 2 cups getting there, it definetely might be worth it.

Zach6668 513 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Every ****ing day people are like "the Penguins need wingers" for like the past 5 years. We add Kessel and it's now "the Pens had other needs." Ok? To be fair, I thought the winger thing was overhyped anyways, with Horny, Perron, Kunitz already there, but still, that seems to have been the need the media identified at least.

Zach6668 513 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 And ya man, the D needs help. Scuderi is a big time anchor here. Need someone like the Leafs to take him. They'll be asking a lot of the kids like Pouliot, Maatta, and maybe Dumoulin. I'd still like to see a top 4 D added, but with Scuderi there, there's no cap. Link to post Share on other sites
