Can players include bonuses in their contracts based on how much the cap increases?  Like a COLA raise?

Or are they locked in regardless what the cap is?  Because a $4 mil hike might be just what we need to squeeze as many players as we can under the cap, unless that increase is already partially spent...

I didn?t hear it, but if it was Westwood, I wouldn?t put much stock in it. He really has it in for Subban.

I've heard the same rumour from Friedman.  Apparently his teammates are getting sick and tired of his act, and it causes problems in the locker room.  He's worn out his welcome, and the talent isn't worth it.

Subban paid too much . He hasn?t helped them get anywhere. I think they realize 8 million might be too much but I think they are stuck with his contract.

First time to the finals last year.  I know we eliminated them this year but getting the presidents trophy isn't something to shake your stick at either.

Kovalchuk says winning is the top priority in returning to the NHL: https://www.tsn.ca/talent/dreger-report-kovalchuk-says-winning-the-priority-in-nhl-return-1.1100940

Maybe he signs in Vegas.  Most contending teams don't have a lot of cap space.

Kovalchuk and winning is his priority? Next one will be datsyuk . They can?t win when the other countries have their best players. They left and were poor sports . Let them stay where they are.

LOL

Datsuyk isn't coming back to the NHL. He'll be 40 years old next month. And the fact you're lumping him in with Kovalchuk really shows your ignorance.

Apparently he can't skate well anymore. Button hates him.

He has not been in the league for 6 years. Whom ever signs him is not making the playoffs.

Ugh does effect Trouba's potential deal?

Hard to say. I can't imagine Trouba signing for that term or money, though.

That whole situation is messed up! Some of the other wives have tweeted support for Karlsson?s wife and seem to confirm that this happened. If confirmed to be true, Hoffman?s girlfriend is scarily nuts.
