There is supposedly a rule set in place that whichever player is claimed cannot be re-acquired by the given team that lost him in the expansion draft for 1 whole season.

Why on earth would Nashville do that. Weber straight retiring would be a better thing to happen.

Seattle doesn't want Drouin at any price.....so he remains a Hab. Seattle doesn't want Weber or Duchene mucking up their long term cap either.

Can you find the article in the cba, cuz so far only retained player can't be trade back to a team for a whole season. Havin Nashville herr as a third team and taking the retention is not illegal per rule. So therefore a loophole is possible.

By cap recapture pres would be hit by aassive contract bliss cuz Weber do not have a standard contract

I think they would take a 4.9 mill over 5 year cap hit vs 5.25 million over 5 years for absorbing half of Price's contract.

Go check Weber note to is contract ...

Yes this is correct you can reacquire a player selected in the expansion draft

From Pierre Lebrun
There is no blanket rule prohibiting a team from re-acquiring player lost in exp draft already

So can we have a threeway so I can laugh to bettman ... This AGM help 3 team and unload 4 contracts ... Seattle can even flip Duch to Devils or whoever want him!

Preds are free cap with webby and taking some in price so they never live the recapture penality, habs cut Price salary by half and spare more than 15 millions in one single move.

I could see bettman head explose ....
