I could have sworn that just yesterday I heard on a radio show (HNIC Radio I think) that if a waiver claim is made, that player has to remain in the NHL for the rest of the season.  Anyone know if this is the case?

Skinner is younger, has similar stats and is locked up for the next 6 years.  Add to that the media and community in Raleigh love him, he's not going anywhere.

If you ask me, I'd put Lupul in that category.  When Lupul came to the Leafs, he was basically a salary dump with very little expectations.  It turns out that he has been excellent and has embraced the Leafs as a team that he wants to be a part of. His comments after he signed his extension...

Using my "definition" I guess no but typically that type of player is at or near the top of the depth chart.

Mats Sundin and Alex Mogilny. Mats was the face of the franchise and proved it day in and day out whether on the ice or with the Media/community. He was the cornerstone of the franchise. Alex showed up to the rink, did his job and went home. It's tough for me to explain I guess but it's more...

If this is something that takes place, what is a reasonable return?  Obviously we won't get back what we gave but he has some value. If the return is reasonable, I wouldn't be opposed to trading him.  I personally don't think Kessel is the right fit for this team.  I agree with the idea that...

Buying him out doesn't make sense at all if I'm not mistaken.  Orginally, the buy outs were supposed to be permitted AFTER this season so teams who planned on buyouts were still going to have those cap hits for this season.  When the whole Gomez/Redden deal went down, teams are allowed to buyout...

Correct me if I'm wrong but if a player who signed a contract prior to being 35 years old, if he retires the contract comes off the books right?  So if he retires with 3 years left on his deal we're off the hook right?

How about the All Star Game draft or the 14 hour trade deadline day show.  Both extremely painful

Assuming that there was no conversation prior to the interview whether by the actual interviewer or representative of the station concerning the topics to be discussed, perhaps Burke's response was a little off base. If there was a conversation when the interview was scheduled in regards to...

Does he have a better shot at making the Caps 3rd or 4th line?  If so, that could have been a contributing factor as well.  You never know what behind the scenes discussions go on as well.  Perhaps he was told that he was penciled in for the Marlies again next year and decided that he wanted...
