The buyout makes more sense for you. You gain cap(over and above his cap hit) this year and next year is under 600k and then slowly creeps up but by then the cap is in the 100m+ range with loads of room to spare

Pretty sure Nichushkin probably can't be bought out while he's in PAP.

Not to mention why would COL eat his buyout when he either:

1. Returns with his **** together and either contributes to your team or has some kind of trade value.
2. Fails again and is probably able to be terminated.

1. No guarantee he keeps his 💩 together and that’s a lot of cap space to risk for COL or anyone that could possibly consider trading for him.

2. Highly doubt you can terminate for this reason. Addiction falls under mental illness. You can avoid signing, minimize the contract value when signing, but termination I highly doubt it.

You can be terminated from just about any job for failing a drug test...

Not a prayer COL buys him with dead cap space for 12 years, and it creates no cap relief at all. While he is in the program his cap doesn’t count. And yes you’re right they can’t terminate now but say he has another positive test and “can’t keep his 💩 together” that’s a whole different ball game.

Ironically I do think NYR is one of the teams that might be a good fit but COL isn’t going to eat money on his contract.

Not if you’re in a program seeking help. And most people don’t have the NHLPA on their side to fight it or a collective bargaining agreement.

The NHLPA has notably gotten several players reinstated after termination, like... Uhh... Like uhh... Oh ****.

Exactly, nobody else has gotten to this point. Why do you think there isn't a stage after four, genius?

I know you're a bit slow, but "Four stages" was a very clear reference to the Player Assistance Program.

Teams terminating guys for violating COVID protocol and "Unprofessional conduct" but you're over here arguing they wont because a guy failed drug tests multiple times. tears of joy

Sexual and physical assault to women or police is much different than addiction problems. I know since you’re not slow you already knew that and weren’t trying to compare the 2 as apples to apples. Breaking health protocols during a pandemic and putting their entire product at risk( billions of $ at risk including lives); ya that’s not the same as addiction. But you already know that because you’re not slow. Again, wouldn’t compare these. As you were saying?

Considering Perry was never charged with or even criminally investigated for anything related to sexual assault...

Keeeeeeeep swinging!

I also like how you just abandoned ship on the PAP Stages when you realized how badly you ****ed up there. Tell me more about "The four stages of addiction!" tears of joy

Who said anything about after termination? It’s been reported they can not terminate it because he’s in the player assist program. The NHLPA and their lawyers would be involved if there was an intent to terminate barring another positive test which would make him the only person to make it to stage 4 and even then nobody knows for sure if they could terminate because he would technically still be in the program suspended for at least a year with no guarantee of reinstatement.

Nuke almost certainly COULD be terminated (contract wise of course) though it's more likely it would be a mutual 'f**k off back to Russia' imo, and only once he's out of the PAP. Whether he will be or not remains to be seen. However, I'd put money on the Avs not buying him out. That would be disastrous.

They've been pissy and contested multiple terminations... It's never resulted in a termination being overturned.

As for the rest of your post, I quite literally said at the start of all this:

1. Perry wasn’t charged with anything, we don’t know what that story is and it’s embarrassing enough to keep hidden(much like a sexual assault that happened there). Half of the fans think someone’s mom was involved and others think it’s a female coworker of some form. Consensual is in the question. It seems like it’s going hand and hand with sexual assault. Probably lands on sexual harassment. But never the less you only example can’t actually prove anything as we can only speculate about it and don’t have the facts. Perry didn’t so much as fight it so you know he’s in the wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️. As for PAP, after stage 4 of PAP, you can be reinstated by the league after 1 year but the league may also not reinstate after 1 year(meaning they may force him to be clean for 18 months, 3 years, 5 years. It’s the LEAGUE’s choice not the team’s. For clarity, this matter is out of the TEAM’s control. Meaning, COL might want to terminate but doesn’t mean they can. Mmmkk cupcake 🧁. Some people have to sleep for work rather than ghosting hahahahahaha maybe you are slow after all

Soooo if Corey Perry likely sexually assaulted somebody and was released for that reason (Even though it was apparently never charged or even investigated… Hmmmm) why haven’t the Hockey Canada participants been released?

Go write another nonsensical paragraph doing mental gymnastics on that one. You’re wrong. Accept it.

EDIT: And then you cited the Bedard’s Mom story which was debunked almost immediately and took off only as satire. 😂😂😂

You need your coffee pal hahaha


He didn’t likely assault anyone. He would have been charged for that. He likely sexually harassed someone which is cause to terminate. As for the mom thing I never cited it to be the situation(simply that fans believe that nonsense). You either struggle with reading since your misinterpreting my statements and the PAP situation. Or… you are slow.

Sexual harassment: Termination
Rape: Not termination

1. The rapes haven’t been confirmed, do we all believe it, yes. But till conviction they are deemed innocent until proven guilty. At which point they will be terminated.

2. Perry did what he did in a franchise that just went through the biggest legal battle for sexual assault. Would have been an absolute nightmare if they allowed his actions to go unpunished.


All the above is simple common sense. If it feelings like mental gymnastics to you then we know why.
