Thread: Other Fanbases Whats the Cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>West_Virginia_Take_Me_Home</b></div><div>1.) I havn't seen a single source that says he'd waive for Edmonton. Highly unlikely.
2.) We are stacked on D, our biggest need is a goal scorer who people want to go out and buy their jersey. You have 2 of them. You'll never part with McDavid and RNH is highly unlikely after signing the 8 year deal.

It ultimately comes down to us just not being a good fit for trading at this time. Id offer our 16th OA this year and 2nd next year plus tarasanko, Dunn, and Blais?</div></div>

I haven't seen any sources saying who he would waive for. Also if he wants out bad enough, he may waive for more teams. Him wanting out, and his injury history/risk do really limit his ability to choose his location.

Very few teams will give you a guy like that for Tarasenko, unless you're retaining half his salary.

I do understand it not being a good fit for trading at this time, and I am curious as to how that situation plays out. As for that Draisatl offer, not even close.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>So he is available if you are going to overpay by a lot. As for arbitration it won’t get that far. Every player settled for less last season and would this season also. Every fan on here expected Strome and ADA to get 6-7M.. so far off. We can afford the salary of Buch, don’t make the mistake of thinking he could get 7-9M. We are in compete now mode as per ownership, the GM isn’t moving a now piece for futures. Unless it’s Bouchard and halloway and maybe then some. I’m telling you it would be a deal that no one would do</div></div>

Which is fair. Understandable that its unlikely that Buch gets traded, but was curious on where the line is for him to be moved. I wish we got him when he was more "available" a few years back at deadline.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aussie_Blackhawk</b></div><div>Rumours are SEA would be ideal because 2 hours from his kids and EDM for a win now opportunity (also chance to play with McDavid and LD). They are the 2 main candidates here. VAN and CGY have cap issues to navigate.</div></div>

Are his kids in Penticton B.C.? If so then you are spot on with Seattle making sense for travel, minus border crossing but that's nothing major in normal times. Vancouver would make more sense travel wise, but like you said cap issues similar to Calgary. Edmonton makes sense for the reasons you stated with the win now and playing with McDavid, but it also does make sense travel wise. Although it is far distance wise (roughly 1100km), it is a shorter flight and has more flight options to Penticton/Kelowna. That area isn't a heavily populated or traveled area during the season. So cities like Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver have an easier access to it.

Thread: Id rather have another schmiddy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>You're just wrong. That's all there is to it. He says no to a trade. Ok. You're stuck..your play!!! No you say??? Contract terminated. But you still want to play? You might now get to, but we'll see.</div></div>

I am not wrong, and you need to research how contract termination in NHL works. Otherwise the Rangers would have terminated Deangelo by now. If Keith wants a trade and the Hawks say no, then yes Keith has to report to the NHL team only, if he doesn't report to the NHL team, then yes his contract can be terminated. If the Hawks say you have to agree to terminate your contract to play, then its up to Keith. But if the Hawks want to play that game, they will have to pay full salary to scratch him.

I can send you links to the various pages explaining how contract termination and NMC's work if you'd like to see why Keith holds most of the cards in this situation, especially if the Hawks want to lose his contract.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I mean...thats not all the options. There are two (and a half) more options that are far more rational. Hey duncan. Do you still want to play hockey? NO. Ok. Then see ya later. We'll keep you on the roster and you can do what you want. OH yes is your answer. Ok...if yes you have two options. Play for us... OR skip out and we terminate your contract like STL did with Berglund and I think WPG did with Buf.</div></div>

If he doesn't want to play hockey, then he retires which isn't what the rumours say. You need viable reason to terminate a contract in a non-buyout manner, otherwise every team would do that instead of buying out. Him wanting to play hockey is not a viable reason. He has a full NMC, so you can't bury him in the minors, and can't trade him without his approval. Its either buyout or accept the trade that sends him to a team he wants to play for.
If he wants to keep playing but not in Chicago and Chicago won't trade him, then yes that his problem and if he doesn't report then you can terminate his contract.
