robb himself 143 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Ive always really liked Nylander and would not mind having him on the club at all. But thats pretty pricey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltgator333 3 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 I don't know that he'll get an NHL job at his salary, if he does it'll be someone highly motivated (near desperate), jmo. He should play, anywhere, with Jagr again. He and Jagr in NY were awesome, and it seems he's went downhill since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 The belief is that this is to pave his way to the KHL. You're probably right. Speculation on his GR stint was that it was intended to give KHL teams a look at his current level of play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking_Erection 1 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 About a $3.4 million cap hit at this point. EDIT: Make that $4 million Wouldn't that be prorated? So if a team takes him now that'd be roughly $2.2 million cap hit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doggy 130 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Wouldn't that be prorated? So if a team takes him now that'd be roughly $2.2 million cap hit? That would be the pro-rated figure. His yearly cap hit is $4.875m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mule 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Not a bad player by any stretch of the imagination, but at this point, the price tag on his head is just too bloated for any team to even consider adding him. The old Michael Nylander might have been justify the cost, but he's not the same player that he used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 Wouldn't that be prorated? So if a team takes him now that'd be roughly $2.2 million cap hit? He's on regular waivers, not re-entry waivers (yet). It's a full price situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doggy 130 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 He's on regular waivers, not re-entry waivers (yet). It's a full price situation. He's talking about pro-rata. Not 50% cap hit on re-entry waivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted November 7, 2009 He's talking about pro-rata. Not 50% cap hit on re-entry waivers. Well, his cap hit is $4.875 million....pro-rate that over about 18% of the season completed, and it's almost exactly $4,000,000 remaining for this season.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 If he's on unconditional waivers like Shanahan was, and nobody picks him up, the Caps can just terminate his contract after that. At which point, anyone could just sign him for $500k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 Since we let him condition with the Griffins we should get Washington to terminate the contract and then we can pick him up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank Dats 'N Homer 81 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 Anyone know who his agent is? From the sounds of the contract, his agent is Scott Boras....j/k, but my former baseballe fans will appreciate the humor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
