Pre-Olympic Trade Deadline Talk

[stevkrause 1,247]

Quote from 2007 article:

"Just before the deadline, the Red Wings traded forward Shawn Matthias and two conditional draft picks to the Florida Panthers for Todd Bertuzzi. While Bertuzzi is currently injured, the Wings are hoping he will be ready to rumble before the calendars turn to April"

So apparently you can...

no, you cannot - there's a difference between being hurt and being on the IR - you cannot move a guy while he is on the IR...

[wingsdiehard13 33]

exactly - a guy can be put back as active contractually to make a move and then just set as a healthy scratch after the move, so he still has time to complete healing - it is against the rules to move a guy when he's on the IR

Then he wouldn't be a "healthy" scratch. He'd be a scratch due to being injured.

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Bertuzzi? No. He was injured when we acquired him. He had back surgery.

I said "healthy" scratch, not healthy scratch.

[stevkrause 1,247]

Then he wouldn't be a "healthy" scratch. He'd be a scratch due to being injured.

semantics... he's still on the active roster and a scratch, I was just trying to clarify between the points - the reason behind a guy being scratched has nothing to do with his contractual status... that was the point I was making

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

Sens put Cheechoo on waivers.

[Guest Lidstromboli]

poor cheech

[ShanahanMan 473]

Sens put Cheechoo on waivers.

Shedding salary........he's still on a 6mil two year deal.

[superstarsingh 23]

I dunno i would have a hard time rooting for that guy. Although i love Avery, so maybe im just weird.

Maltby in his prime did a lot of what Ott does, but never dropped the gloves.

You're correct, it just sounded like an oxy-moron to me and didn't make much sense. I understand now .

[Guest Howard He Do It?!]

[stevkrause 1,247]

wow... big contract, but still a good NHL player... when does his contract end? I'm sure PLENTY of teams would love to have him at 1.5 or less...

[Hank Dats 'N Homer 81]

How would they get him for only 1.5 or less????

[ShanahanMan 473]

Dunno about that.......he hasn't put up 20 goals in a couple years and his contract doesn't expire until 2011. Not sure if any teams are gonna take a BIG 3mil risk.....

[e_prime 1,936]

How would they get him for only 1.5 or less????

Claim him on Re-entry waivers.

[superstarsingh 23]

May did what he was in the lineup to do. Later May.

[MacK_Attack 108]

I wouldn't be shocked if Cheechoo hit re-entry waivers on March 1st or 2nd.
