That still doesn't stop this: Devils may claim goaltender Evgeni Nabokov on waivers and then put him back on waivers Friday so that he can sign with the Detroit Red Wings.

McKenzie in response to that tweet:

Even more intriguing McKenzie:

His contract will be over at the end of this season.

Then a team will claim him just to keep him away from Detroit.

A team claiming him would have to pay his full salary. Only on re-entry waivers does a team pay half a players salary that you are referring to.

Dreger: McKenzie: Edit: Also from McKenzie:

Because it's "American", although it includes the Habs...

USA Hockey Rule Book Fights can be anything as low as a Major and a Game Misconduct, if you're reffing by the book. But it also can be called a Match Penalty. It's basically up to the Officials discrepancy for every single call he makes. Look things up next time, before you call people out.

This is about the 7th thread on our RFA's. Does anyone remember when Filppula was a Restricted Free Agent in 2008? It was until July 30th when Val re-signed. Relax, Helm and Abdelkader will be back, RFA's take more time to sign. Especially when they file for arbitration, although neither of those two did. Edit: Modano will not cost us Helm, no chance.

Red Wings "pretty close" to signing Patrick Eaves, Drew Miller, and Derek Meech; not close to deals with Justin Abdelkader and Darren Helm. Source

Mark Eaton 2 year deal worth $5 Million with the Islanders.

Eric Nystrom signs with Minnesota. 3 years at $1.4 million.

It doesn't effect the cap hit, take the total money (23 Million) and divide it by the total years (4) and you have the cap hit.

No, Salary is pro-rated and is averaged out. The cap hit for that contract would be $5.75.

Petr Mrazek

There's the goalie. Petr Mrazek.

Canucks acquire Ballard

Oilers take Taylor Hall

Oh come on. Wow.

Is this Penguins/Blues commercial on during every commercial break? Anyway, good for Miller.

The award show is on as we speak...

Of course I'd be jealous of a pro hockey player. By the way, I didn't neg you.

And Patrick Kane just proves he still is, and always will be a complete idiot.
