reaves will be lucky to stay with the team

sprong hasnt even played a full ahl season what r u even on.

sheahan had one of the worst performances on one of the worst teams in the league last year. theres more than just the half season with the pens to consider. plus hes rfa

simon is a 23 year old with 30 nhl games and 4 total goals, he scored at a 50 point pace in the AHL, which is good for a second line top six in that league but that doesnt transfer to the nhl, thats worth more like 25 points. plus hes RFA

1. Then why are you resigning him knob?

2. He's split almost every year between leagues, so what does that even have to do with anything? Are you dense? Knob.

3. Last year was last year and this year is this year. Worst team in the league? Sounds like you're making a case for his poor showing then. Knob.

4. So RFA's don't get more than 900k? Knob.

Clearly you don't know nearly as much about hockey as you think. KNOB KNOB KNOB BOB ON MY KNOB

luckily, he never said hed be trading hornqvist like that. that was you that made it that way. So since you keep insisting the trade is that way, i have to tell you dude, theres no way that would happen in the nhl you are nuts to bring it up

Wow you guys are dumb. You basically just restated my first comment.

Google "sign and trade" and tell me the definition. I don't want no BS about how it translates to any other sport. I want a definition of a SIGN AND TRADE.

you do realize that was an answer to your question and that the comment very much did not say hornqvist was to be traded in such a way.

yes he realizes this but hes so deep into the hole its better for him to just pretend

So okay, as previously conceded, in the NBA's CBA, they gave this specific type of deal a name, that name being a "sign-and-trade." I will conced you are correct that to be an official sign and trade its gotta be NBA, i will give you that.

What I cant give you however is the rest of what youve argued.

1. This hornqvist deal is not an official sign and trade, nor did the OP ever say it is. OP said it would look like one of the many deals that he gave to you as examples
2. you asked for an example of a similar deal EVER happening in the NHL, OP provided a bunch, one of which was EXACT (Hossa)
3. Youre being silly if you think hornqvist is the signing to argue about here...
4. Horny's FA rights are far more valuable than a guy like Jimmy Vesey so no, hes not worth a 7th
5. It is incredibly common to refer to those types of deals as a sign and trade even if they arent in the NBA or exactly the same, sports borrow terms from other sports literally all the time. Hell sportsnet spent all of last season hyping a potential "Steven stamkos sign and trade" and while it neither happened nor would be a real sign and trade by your count, its perfectly normal and okay to use the term.

so there we have it our game is over and sure, you scored a goal but you still lost 5-1man

1. First off, he's not resigning him. you dont pay people when they resign unless they still have money left on their contract. And the reason is probably because he either likes reaves, or more likely because this was not about reaves at all and was solely about fitting tavares on the team and he didnt care to find some other 900,000 dollar plug

2. wrong again, he played 18 NHL games in 2015 after being drafted and then was sent to JUNIORS, not AHL. last season he played in juniors the entire season again due to not being eligible to play in the AHL. He played 8 games with us this year only because literally everyone and their cousin was injured and he was sent down as soon as possible to finish his FIRST ahl season. being that he's 20 and has 5 points in 26 nhl games if you think he will be signed a mill or more you are verifiably crazy

3. this argument makes no sense. both years and all the years before will be accounted for during negotiation. Oh? he got traded to the defending 2X champs? well of course he's playing better. This is a two lane street.

4. yes lets ignore the rest of what he said and only read the throw in at the end. Simon is a 4th line winger with 13 career points. nobody said RFAs dont get more than 900,000, just the ones named dominik simon. there you go putting words in people's mouths again.
