Watched the game on FSN over NBCSN for obvious reasons last night. Was curious to see if anyone could link some video of any kind just to see how they were covering us.
Mainly the DeKeyser highlight reel and the incident where abby and someone from the PHX bench were chirping at each other while Pierre was trying to talk. I was curious to hear what was going on there.
This article just came across twitter, but is an insider piece so i can only read the first one. Seems interesting though. Anyone have an insider account and would like to share it?
1. Handing out too many, over-restrictive no-movement clauses
It's just not realistic anymore to say that teams shouldn't give no-movement clauses to unrestricted free agents because it's all but a requirement to get a player signed. Regardless of whether they're a franchise player or a depth defenseman.
"It's a fait accompli," said one NHL source.
Calgary GM Jay Feaster's hands were definitely tied in Calgary thanks to a wide range of no-trade restrictions on that roster. The fight has to be in limiting how far reaching the no-trade clause is. And while the players like having the control of a no-trade clause, not everyone on their side of the table thinks they're in the best interest of all the players. One respected agent believes no-movement clauses potentially hurt the overall revenue the league brings in, which in turn cuts into the amount of money players can earn.
"I hate them. First and foremost, you're giving players' money to an individual," he said. "When Rick Nash gets to handcuff the Blue Jackets and doesn't allow them to get as good a return as they could have gotten, in theory, they won't perform as well, hurting their revenues. And the PA won't get as much money."
