"I hope that the NHLPA has the guts to deny permission here.
Don't forget that when he walks back into a contract he left in bad faith to earn a bigger contract, the money he's getting is coming out of the entire players' share and the minutes he's playing come directly out of another NHLPA member's hard-earned ice time.
... another NHLPA member who didn't walk away from his contact in bad faith. Another NHLPA member who worked hard for the position he's going to be losing to this primadonna.
I would lose a lot of faith in the players if they signed off on this behavior. "
yeah, terrible terrible idea. clearly should be under waivers. has a baad knee, probably wants a new contract before stepping on the ice, no diea why though, a month for 1 million, thats 6 million a season. take the money and run.
"So, what's to keep teams from signing foreign league players to small contracts in the summer, letting them play in their foreign leagues until their teams are eliminated, and then bringing them in at the end of the year like this? Seems like this could open a whole can of worms. The players wouldn't mind the small contracts since they also get paid in their other league, and thus the NHL teams could high really good players for small cap hits. Talk about salary cap circumvention." might not work if they havent played for a set period in teh NHL, but good point.
