I heard Mr.Stoll just asked him to hold something for him. Sounds like a good excuse! LOL. What are you guys hearing? some type of prescription drug thing would be my guess. Pills in a unmarked container, etc.

sounds like Philly did good to get rid of him. when i lived back in Philly, sports radio was always saying he was a douche in the room.

There arent saying much about it up here. I just heard that the union is already preparing for the appeal and it will be messy because no one is goin to walk away from 20 mil.
Ive often wondered why teams havent used loop holes to get contracts terminated before.

i think most of these agents are pretty sharp and have all the "legal-ese" figured out in contracts. my client is not responsible for any actions under the effects of alcohol and/or drugs. what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
what about Voynov too? is he gonna do time? or probation? and then what say Overlord Bettman.

Tmz has a blurb on their website saying apparently on june 17 richards was stopped crossing into canada with a huge bottle of oxycodone. Not sure if thats enough to terminate his contract but it might explain his give a shit level being at an all time low

I have a hard time watching dion play. He is one of the slowest players in the league and one of the worst captains ever.7 mil for a #3 dman is painfull to watch night n and out.


What do u guys think about the kings simply terminating mike richards contract?
Think that is gonna fly or they end up paying him later

I think they have to pay him a percentage of his contract over the next ? years. I think
he's done. Don't think anyone will pick him up.

Your going through the same shit I am, maybe a little worse. At least you don't have
to listen to that Kessel crap anymore. They had a good point on nhl network. He's a
pure goal scorer but can't carry a team. I don't ever see him as a leader for a team
so Pittsburg is probably the best place for him. Hopefully they can pick up a piece or
2 over the next few day's. Maybe it will be addition by subtraction?

The leafs traded kessel for three guys named who and a pile of poo an they retain 1.25 million of his contract for 7 yrs.

Love him or hate him phil is a scoring machine and him and crosby are going to score a shit tonne of points together.

I'm not surprised. Babcock demands effort and defensive play, and Kessel can be iffy with both of those things.

The knock on Babcock around Detroit is that he's a difficult coach to play for, and because of that not very many free agents wanted to sign here. The Wings couldn't land a good FA to save their lives over the last 5 years.... Babcock leaves and Mike Green is now a Red Wing. Coincidence?

... Didn't see any comments on it before, but does anyone have any clue What Jim Benning is doing with the Canucks?? Seems like a whole tear down. They even fired 2 assistant GM's and another front end person today!

LOL fellow life long canucks fan right here and here is my thoughts:

I cant believe how horrible the trades this team made recently were. In all it was Bieksa+Kassian+Lack+5th=Prust+2th+3th+7th. WTH type of trades was that we got roasted in them deals just look at what the team gave up and what we got it jst doesnt add up.

I was a huge kassian fan and was really upset to see him traded for just prust but after having a day to thank about it I dont think it was all that bad because kassian has had bad injury problems(back/shoulder) and has off icce problems as well. Prust is a good depth player who will play the PK that replaces B rich pk role from last years and he will drop thr gloves with anyone so i guess our 4th line is looking good with dorsett and prust making up 2/3rds of the fourth line.

I was never a fan of Lack he was just a back up goalie who the fans loved for some reason he would be getting litee up in net and still laughing about it I for one dont like that garbage and am glad he is gone. IMO Miller>Markstrom>Lack

Bieksa had to go his days of being a reliable defencman were long over a 2nd round pick was fair value i think but it scks to see him traded after being the heart and soul here for so long.

Alot of teams made alot of weird moves so far this yr.
Im not sure if its just inexperience of some gms showing theough or what.
I think the canucks are gonna flip prust at the dealine since benning said they arent even thinking about resigning him.
Detroit, pitts, philly and buffalo are the only teams that took steps forward. Everyone else either side stepped or regressed.

Agree Toronto, what a weird FA this year. Not even as many transactions as last year but lot's of
shit not making sense. It's going to be a crazy start of the year in October!
