If anyone that needs a goalie really bad trades and with Vegas they can take Fleury. Think if the Flyers or Capitals traded with Vegas and got Fleury in the expansion draft, heads would explode.

He has to wave the no trade clause to be exposed, same thing as Phaneuf is being asked to do by Ottawa. It has be brought up that Vegas could get Fleury in the expansion draft and turn around and deal him for draft picks. Calgary from what I've heard wants Fleury.

cberkas Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Rumor is the Golden Knights are working a deal with the Blue Jackets to get David Clarkson. I don't get how a player that is for the most part retired still getting paid his contract. Why doesn't the league take over these contracts like Prongers?

I could be wrong, but I believe Pronger is under contract with the Coyotes. He works for the NHL, but is being paid by the Coyotes. Sounds like the Clarkson deal is that Vegas will take Clarkson's contract in exchange for the Blue Jackets' 1st round pick (#24 overall).

And a prospect too. To me if a player can get off LTIR and is basically retired the the league should take over these types of contracts. Prongers contract killed the Flyers. Coyotes with Pronger's and Datsyuk's contracts is a joke. That my opinion on it. Columbus gets rid of a bad contract and gets a pick in the expansion draft (or that's how I think it works).

I think I agree that the Coyotes with Pronger's and Datsyuk's contracts is a joke. For a team to take on contracts of players that aren't in the league for the sake of taking on salary to meet the salary floor, that shouldn't happen. However, maybe what should happen is that the team that signed the player (or that the player is with at the time when they get injured) should have to keep that player and not be able to trade their rights to another team like the Coyotes to help them reach the salary floor. Your comment "Prongers contract killed the Flyers" is the Flyers issue to deal with. They gave him that contract. They should have to live with it.

I get it's the Flyers problem on the Pronger contract. Are the Flyers to blame that Pronger ended up with a eye injury that ended his career? Now lets say Crosby gets another big contract and has a concussion that ends his career. I don't like the Penguins, but should they get stuck with his contract if Crosby's career is over because of a concussion that has yet to happen?

I just think it's a slippery slope when having the NHL bail out teams in certain situations. It would have to be very clear what would and would not qualify for a league bailout.

I think if the Bruins could snag Brodin, that'd be a plus for the blue line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the issue maybe that the contract still counts against the cap and it hamstrings the GM when building a roster? It can't be financial if the contract is insured against injury. It has to be issues with managing the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the contract is insured, I'm assuming it would be paid by insurance and not by the NHL team? But yes, it would still count against the cap for that team.

The Blue Jackets SB Nation page made it sound like the contract doesn't count against the cap. Coyotes SB Nation page said that Craig Cunningham and David Bolland can't be drafted in the expansion draft, because of career ending injuries.
