Doesn't he have to play at least one game in the Finals to get his name on the Cup tho?

No.

They can decide to put him on it, they just submit a request. But I'm pretty sure they'll have him play at least one game regardless. Can't see a $5 mill + healthy player being shafted like that.

I knew I read it somewhere. Here's the article:

https://www.thoughtco.com/players-names-on-the-stanley-cup-2779441

Today, players appearing in 41 regular-season games for the championship team or in one Stanley Cup final game for that team have their names engraved on the Cup. The NHL makes exceptions for players who do not meet the standard because of injury or other extenuating circumstances.

Besides eligible players, the names of the coaches, management, and staff of the winning team are also engraved on the Cup.

Only one name has been added to the Cup against the rules over the years. When the Edmonton Oilers won their first championship in 1984, owner Peter Pocklington included his father's name, Basil Pocklington, among the names engraved. It was later scratched out with a series of Xs.

 

I don't think that having a 5 million dollar salary would count as an extenuating circumstance. That said, if Vegas does make the Finals (which I don't think they will), I'm sure he would be used for at least one of those games, so its probably a moot point.

How good can it possibly feel when you didn't play a game for it?

True that. He's only dressed for four playoff games. lol

But is that a knock on Tatar, or just a situation where Gallant is more comfortable with the guys he's coached all season and wants to roll with them? Even though McPhee gave up three high picks for him, he's not needed unless there's an injury. But they had picks to spare, so why not grab some insurance i guess.

No, his salary means nothing. You have to meet the minimum game requirements. Downey didn't dress for any playoff games in '08, but played more than enough regular season games to qualify. He deserved it imo.

Jiri Slegr played one SCF game for the Wings in 2002 and got his name on the Cup.  I wonder how he felt about that?

Always on the list of most undeserving players to have their name on the Cup, no matter who the writer is.

Pocklington had his removed. So I am sure he means Slegr.

He has his name forever engraved on the most hallowed trophy in major league sports. I bet he feels pretty good. I would.

1. I have no idea what this means.

2. Slegr earned it legitimately. He had no control over being traded at the deadline to the team that would eventually win the Cup. He had nothing to do with Fischer being suspended in the Finals resulting in his playing in one game. The rules say that if you play one Finals game, you get ur name on the Cup. He did it honestly and by the rules. He didnt manipulate things to make it happen. It was completely circumstancial. He has nothing to feel bad about. There are alot of names on the cup that shouldnt be. Slegr's isnt one of them.

He's a member of the Triple Gold Club. He may have been fortunate when it comes the Stanley Cup, but you don't just luck your way into that prestigious honor.

Tatar finally gets to play some playoff hockey. Has a goal so far tonight  

[The Datsyukian Deke 127]

Does that get us an additional pick? Or improve a pick? If not, I don't give a f..

I didn't say that he cheated.  He just has to feel like a voyeur more than a member of the team (that was the porn reference BTW).

Tatar + a 3rd rounder for Joe Veleno, Robert Mastrosimone, and Alex Nedelijkovic, Yes.

[bIueadams 776]

Time to sign Tatar?

He's still a UFA. Turns 33 in Decemeber. Been a solid 2nd line winger in the league since he left us.

Bertuzzi and Tarasenko took $5 mil x 1 year deals. We have roughly $6 mil in capspace. Tatar is coming off a $4.5 AAV cap hit. I'd try to get him on a $3.5 - $4 x 1, with the promise to sell him to a contender at the deadline, unless we're in serious playoff position.

Debrincat - Larkin - Raymond
Tatar - Copp - Perron
Berggren - Compher - Sprong
Fabbri - Ras - Kostin

Sit: Fischer & Veleno

You could role all those lines almost evenly. Even the 4th line could do some scoring damage. We'd be a nightmare to matchup against just based on depth alone.

And if it doesn't work, sell Sprong, Tatar, and Perron at the TDL and call up Kasper and the gang.

Right.  One eye going over to the side, one looking at you, and a heep of summer teeth.  The Swedish male would be extinct if humans were not able to feel compassion, empathy, and altruism.  Italian males would be banging Swedish females nonstop and making perfect children.  But Italians wont venture north into the cold if they have to look at the Swedish male.
